What Are You Really Made of? | A Monk's Perspective

One of the issues many people are struggling with now is the gap between their public persona versus how they actually feel on the inside. People will disguise or cover up with external things such as clothing, success, an identity, status, but if you were to assess yourself clearly, one's outside world may not be congruent with one's inside world. In this video, I give you an exercise to help you see yourself clearly and a 3 pillar system that can help you begin the process of change. I hope this helps. Enjoy! #monks #buddhism #mentalhealth
