Tolerance and Joy - Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life, Part II

 

In a time consumed by worldwide violence, we all have a responsibility to do what we can to eradicate hatred and cultivate joy.  We may feel that helplessness, anger and fear - in the face of either personal or public difficult events - is particular to us.  But beings have been faced with this struggle throughout human history.  Buddhist sage Shantideva provides us with a method to cultivate an open heart and develop a state of being imbued with the energy of compassion and joy that is both stable and sustaining of connection with others and with life.

Mondays, Jan 4 - Feb 8 at 7.30-9.30pm
