“Be patient!” is something we’ve heard throughout our lives. We may even say it to ourselves and others. We know it’s a virtue and leads to peace. But, honestly, do we really understand what patience means? To be patient does not mean “gritting our teeth and bearing it.” It means to accept wholeheartedly. But we […]
Everyone wants to feel happy and be free from suffering, but finding happiness can seem elusive. Buddhist teachings tell us that this is because we are confused about the true source of happiness. While we often look for it in external circumstances, real happiness can only be found by going deeper into ourselves. In this […]
Through engaging deeply with a series of special verses we can unlock the secrets to realizing an inner friend, a peaceful mind of wisdom we can always rely on.
