S10 Ep3: "The Elephant Shrew" by Paul Harris

Enlightenment is attainable by anyone, but sometimes students feelunworthy of realising it themselves. As the story of the monkCulapanthaka illustrates, you do not have to be clever to examine lifeclosely. Everyone's situation is unique and contains all the lessonsthey need to learn about suffering and its cessation. As we see moreand more that the unsatisfactory nature of life is fundamentallyirresolvable, the more we are able to let go of craving for it to bedifferent and, hence, the less we suffer.

Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity.
