Sogyal Rinpoche ~ Letting go 

Letting go is sometimes not so easy.
In this video from Paris on 29 June 1998, Sogyal Rinpoche talks about letting go as a process that all of us need to go through. However, it is important to realise that our own mind can help or harm this process.
For example, by understanding impermanence ⎯when we realise that everything is by nature impermanent and dreamlike⎯there is no other option but to let go. By reflecting on impermanence, and recognizing the truth of this, we can realize a new birth. It is like we let got of the clouds, but gain the sky.
