The Buddha said: "You are the agent of your own awakening, there is no other agent than you." This is an empowering statement, but it also implies that we need to take up the task of our own spiritual evolution. In this conversation, Elizabeth and Willa Miller, an authorized dharma teacher and spiritual director of Natural Dharma Fellowship, explore the importance of humility, what it means to trust one's own discernment, the important distinction between giving up the ego and abdicating agency, and the purpose of devotion in the Varjayana Buddhist tradition.
