One of the main obstacles on the spiritual path is the prideful mind, our tendency to inflate our view of ourselves on the basis of our wealth, qualities, accomplishments, and any of a number of other factors. In this teaching with Don Handrick, we will examine the nature of pride, the way that arrogance arises in the mind, as well as its dangers for both ourselves and others. We will also discuss the means of diminishing pride by cultivating a truly humble and yet completely confident sense of ourselves and our abilities, thus enabling us to accomplish all that we wish without being hindered by this afflicted mind.
