Listen "The Other Side of Despair"
Episode Synopsis
Life, by its nature, presents us with things that are difficult. There is, of course, illness, aging, death. We'll be separated, the Buddha tells us, from all that we find dear and appealing. This is the way it is, and as dharma students we learn to develop acceptance - equanimity - in relationship to these basic truths about life. In this talk, Peter explains how, if we develop this sort of acceptance, we can know a happiness in life. In spite of life's challenges and difficulties, there is great happiness and joy. The dharma talk was given in October 2024.
