Letting all that go and investigating for myself, reading some of the suttas in the Pali Canon and then eventually listening to and talking to a teacher from a completely different tradition felt almost liberating !

I can share that same experience. To get in contact with the Pali teachings has had a kind of liberating effect and has improved practice and understanding. I have found this teachings sharp and direct to what has to be done here and now. Curiously, when being mindful and with a peaceful state of mind, everything comes to place and there is no need for more than just being present and aware. When not, a bunch of felt needs, ideas, self told tales and fabrications arise ending in the experience of Dukkha.
