Without choice, we experience various types of problems and pain in our daily life. Often our method is to just 'smile and push through' or to feel overwhelmed and helpless. In this talk with visiting Resident Teacher Gen Gomlam, learn how to use the spiritual tool of patience, a fearless mind, to protect us from being harmed by our suffering. Through transforming our pain in this way we can also grow our good heart, connecting with others in a deeper, more authentic way. Our challenges will no longer make us feel stuck and overwhelmed, but instead we learn to value them as the raw material that nourishes our limitless potential for universal love and compassion.
