The Buddha and Jesus Christ are two great spiritual leaders who founded two important world religions.

Clinging is the greatest possessiveness and attachment we have. As long as we cling, we cannot see reality. We cannot see reality because clinging is in the way. Clinging colors whatever we believe to be true. Now, it is not possible to say “all right, I’ll stop clinging”. We can’t do that. The process of taking the “me” apart, of not believing any more that this is one whole, is a gradual one. If we really want to get rid of suffering, completely and totally, then clinging has to go. The spiritual path is never one of achievement; it is always one of letting go. 

White Eagle shows us how to live in joy rather than in fear, becoming more and more aware of our true spiritual nature and the reason for our existence. 

In this enlightening series, world-renowned spiritual leader Thich Nhat Hanh shares the essential foundations of mindful practice and meditation.
