Staying Calm When Things Go Wrong
Guided meditations and teachings with modern Buddhist monk Gen Tashi
In daily life it is easy to become irritated, frustrated and unhappy. There are countless situations that we find difficult or challenging. Without methods to protect our mind we can easily become angry and act in unskillful or counterproductive ways. In this series of classes we will explore timeless advice from the great Buddhist teacher Shantideva on how to transform our difficulties through practicing patience. We will learn meditation and mindfulness practices that empower us to maintain a sense of inner strength and patience when things go wrong. With greater patience we will be able to respond to life’s difficulties in a much more beneficial and constructive way.
