"One of the key practices of any great spiritual tradition is the ability to let go - particularly the 'let go' of your strong gripping self. The interesting thing about self-centeredness is that the impulse behind self-centeredness is fear. You're so terrified that maybe somehow to not control and fix it, that terrible things are going to happen, that everything is going to fall apart. And you need courage to be able to just trust the process and also let go."
- Thupten Jinpa
