Abandoning Hierarchy with Ayya Soma

(Buddhist Insights, 6/30/21) The Buddha told monastics to reflect in this way every day: "I am no longer part of the social hierarchy" (AN 10.48). Ayyā Somā explains what it means to relinquish the social hierarchy and why it's an important part of Buddhist practice (for monastics and anyone interested in really letting go).
