Why do we try to control everything?


Why we try to control everything – and why it never works – The Buddha's answer
(Buddhism Podcast) April 9, 2025: Buddhism Explained. This podcast explores a quiet habit that many of us carry — the habit of trying to CONTROL everything in life.

Through simple language and gentle reflection, we look at why the mind/heart holds on, how this creates tension and stress, and what begins to change when we stop forcing things.

With stories from the Buddha’s life and clear examples, this talk offers a calm and thoughtful way to understand clinging, change, and the freedom that comes from letting go.
