Making Friends with the Devil

 

The ‘devil’ is that part of our makeup that perpetuates inner conflict. Dharma training teaches us how to put an end to that conflict, by learning to let go of the habitual self-identification that gives that conflict its life.

A very challenging talk… are we really prepared to look at ourselves? Āloka explains what looking inward will uncover, and the fears that will be exposed as we undertake this journey. Although the practice is simple, the process of letting go of attachments is one of the most difficult, but is the only route to fulfilment and contentment. Āloka describes how we need to learn to trust the stillness and so begin to see the world we have created. By letting go and making friends with ourselves we can find freedom and the ability to engage with this wonderful world without attachment..
