Why You Can't Stop Thinking About the Past (Even Years Later) | Buddhist Story

Why does the past keep pulling you back, even years after it ended? This Buddhist story explores an ancient teaching on memory, regret, and why replaying old wounds never actually heals them, only deepens them. Through the story of a grieving farmer and a monk taught to stop stirring troubled water, this teaching reveals why the second arrow of suffering is one we fire into ourselves, and how to finally set it down.
