The guideline here is what you can know for yourself. The inner life, the quality of your life, what you can know for yourself, that’s really what this tradition is pointing to.” – Gil Fronsdal ================ The Dharma in Brief with Gil Fronsdal - BHNN Guest Podcast Ep. 158 - https://youtu.be/OdWLrxy8d9Y The Dharma in Brief with Gil Fronsdal - BHNN Guest Podcast Ep. 158 - https://beherenownetwork.com/bhnn-guest-podcast-ep-158-the-dharma-in-brief-with-gil-fronsdal ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
