The possibility of this happening can only develop within a clear, open, and patient mind. As we all know, normally our need to escape from unpleasant feelings can be so urgent that we become impatient and reactive and we do not give ourself the time to discover where our feelings are actually coming from. We may think that things should be different from the way they are. We can blame circumstances or other people for our unhappiness, but what we really need is the clarity and spaciousness of mind to see what is binding us. Like placid water, patience allows us to see things clearly, which creates the space for solutions to arise and enables us to undo our suffering. Total acceptance is the foundation of total freedom. Join us for this class series that will include teachings and meditations from the extraordinary book How to Solve Our Human Problems by the great Buddhist Master Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. This book is a practical guide to overcoming frustration, anger and retaliation and developing the inner powers of patience and forgiveness, which enable spiritual transformation of suffering into personal growth.
