Letting Go and Allowing In

Sarah Taisho Sands, Senior Lay Student - ZCNYC - 7/13/25 - See the thought, acknowledge it, let it go. Almost everyone knows this central teaching on how to work with thoughts and ideas we get attached to or distracted by. Taisho looks at the many ways this can show up in our life away from the cushion, and how changing the emphasis from 'let it go' to 'let go of it' can give us a fresh perspective on its meaning. And perhaps most importantly, how letting go is intimately connected to what we can invite in, and the ways that can nurture compassion and break down barriers.
