•OnlineEmbracing the Wisdom of Patience
OnlineDiscover the power of patience: this is not about gritting your teeth when things get tough or just restraining from retaliating to harsh words—it’s a practice that can transform the way you live and bring calmness and openness to the mind.
In this course, inspired by the teachings of the great 11th century Tibetan Kadampa master Geshe Chengawa, we’ll explore four unique dimensions of patience, learning how to evict ill will from the mind and draw in the power of loving kindness.
Through guided reflections, discussions, and real-life applications, this course offers tools for replacing frustration with calm, transforming challenges into opportunities, and turning everyday moments into pathways for peace.
Open door, open heart. Donations are always optional.5 attendees
