It is said that the Buddha originally told this story to explain how we amplify suffering.  The first arrow is unavoidable; the second is not.So, how do we avoid the second arrow? By being mindful. Being equanamous. Being self-compassionate. It is simple but not always easy. We have to be willing to practice regularly so we get to know our minds so we can free our minds.This week I invite you to notice the first arrow and pause.I am grateful you are listening and for the people behind the scenes who make this podcast possible.All of you who are members of the podcast on Patreon;Gorgias Romero for original music, audio engineering and production;Bill Rafferty for technical web support; Allie Allen for logo and podcast cover design; and Margaret Haas for announcing the showBe well.
