The Bamboo Grove" What Are You Afraid Of?"
[details]
-
What we fear may change with age, education or experience, but we all fear something at some time and much of our suffering—as individuals and as a society—is caused by fear. In fact, fear is at the very root of ego. The essential cause of our suffering and anxiety is ignorance of the nature of reality and craving for and clinging to something illusory. That is referred to as ego, and the gasoline in the vehicle of ego is fear. Ego thrives on fear, so unless we figure out the problem of fear, we will never understand or embody any sense of egolessness or selflessness. The important question is: why do we fear at all? Come to the Bamboo Grove to take a close look at the monster lurking in the dark.
