    Ep. 241 - Dependent Arising and Liberation with Gil Fronsdal
    2026/02/05

    Gil Fronsdal invites us to see Buddhism not as a doctrine but as a lived experience where insight, trust, and letting go give rise to genuine freedom.

    This week on the BHNN Guest Podcast, Gil Fronsdal dives into:

    • How the twelve steps of dependent origination fit into the schema of Buddhist practice
    • The stark difference between an insight and a belief
    • Buddhism as a path to walk rather than a doctrine to believe in
    • Turning from suffering and clinging to peace
    • Finding out how Buddhism is meaningful to us individually
    • How we have all been liberated from something in our lives
    • Appreciating the relief and clarity that comes from letting go of clinging
    • The profound act of trust that it takes to be open and present
    • The door of the wishless, when the mind stops desiring
    • Looking at things exactly as they are rather than trying to conceptualize

    "How deep and thorough can we let go? Can we liberate ourselves? The challenge that Buddhism offers us, more than a doctrine, it offers us a challenge that it is possible to get into the very deepest roots of the clinging in our hearts and uproot it, to become free from it." –Gil Fronsdal
