Patience is an inner strength that enables us to accept and grow from whatever life throws at us. Without cultivating patience we remain vulnerable to anxiety and frustration, and it is difficult for us to maintain peaceful relationships with others. If on the other hand we understand what true patience is and how extraordinarily valuable it is, we will be motivated to practice patience in daily life. In this series, based on ‘How to Solve Our Human Problems’ by Ven Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, we will explore practical methods for replacing frustration, irritation, anger with a mind of true patient acceptance. By using these methods in our daily life we will develop an inner peace that cannot be disturbed by changing conditions.
