Tuesday Evening Meditation Class

Salve for the Mind: Meditations on Patient Acceptance

When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be free from problems, we must transform our mind.

This series is taught by Gen Kelsang Chokyi, Resident Teacher at KMC Blooomington. The series is based on Geshe Kelsang Gyatso's book "How to Solve Our Human Problems.” 

The class consists of two meditations, a talk on the benefits and healing nature of patience as well as some practical advice on how to integrate acceptance into daily life. Everyone is welcome — no meditation expereince is necessary. 

*Class links are good for 72 hours to re-watch.
