Why seeing yourself cling is the beginning of freedom — and other Buddhist insights that will stick with you.
Pascal Auclair has been immersed in Buddhist practice and study since 1997, sitting retreats in Asia and America. He has been mentored by Joseph Goldstein and Jack Kornfield, who have both been previous guests on this show. Pascal is now a core teacher at the Insight Meditation Society (IMS) in Massachusetts. He is also a co-founder of True North Insight and one of its guiding teachers. 
In this episode we talk about:
What the Four Kinds of Clinging are — and why the Buddha thought this list mattered
How clinging to pleasure actually makes pleasure harder to enjoy
The "wrong views" that cause the most suffering — and how to hold your opinions less tightly
Why clinging to rules and routines shows up in the most ordinary places (including who puts the onions in the pan first)
What self-identification is, and why loosening it leads to less guilt, shame, and anxiety
A simple bedside inquiry for getting underneath the concept of self
Why catching yourself cling is a reason for joy, not self-criticism
