How to Meditate on the Stages of the Path 05 - Gain and Loss

In this episode, spiritual director John Bruna deepens his commentary on the eight worldly dharmas by focusing on gain and loss. He offers a wise and gentle approach to investigating our own behaviors to see how much of our time is spent trying to get what we want. John reminds us that getting what we want and enjoying those things is not the problem, rather itis the attachment to those enjoyable things that cause us the suffering.
