Tonight, I'd like to discuss the challenges and suffering that come from being attached to being right, as well as the role of Buddhism and meditation in reducing this ego-driven tendency. Even when our views are correct, attachment causes distress. The Buddha notes that those who haven't meditated—“untrained worldlings”—lack the insight into the impermanent nature of things. How’s it feel to be right? How do you feel when you’re right? What does if feel like when you’re certain your right but someone else thinks you’re wrong?
