What is the Difference Between Self-Commitment and Being Selfish?

from Triple Gem of the North · host Triplegem

We cannot love and care for others if we do not love and care for ourselves. Life often presents situations where we want to help someone, even at the expense of our own safety or health. However, we must prioritize caring for ourselves first, but the guilt we feel for doing so can take a toll on our well-being. In this podcast, Bhante Sathi discusses the difference between being selfish and being a healthy, self-committed person. He also explores how to maintain the delicate balance of recognizing both your own needs and the needs of others on your journey of self-commitment.
