The Two Arrows

The Buddhist teaching of the two arrows. The first arrow is what happens to us. The second arrow is how we respond to it. We cannot control the first arrow but can always chose how to respond to the second one. That choice determines our freedom and peace of mind.

Loved this! Thanks so much!😍 thank you for helping me realize that I am just creating the second arrow, and I can refrain from doing so🙏🙏🙏

I heard this recently and am glad to find it again. Reflecting after listening to this track, I realize that what feels like a long-standing spear, is just the same arrow over and over again, day in and day out. You’ve reminded me that each time I’m about to stick it to myself, I have a choice to put it down. Thank you🌸

An oldie but a goodie, something I still need to work on. More great stuff thank you Catherine 😊 🙏
