Transforming Difficulties into the Path of Joy; Buddhist Wisdom for the New Year
February 4, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
The ancient teachings of the Buddha contain countless methods for using both favorable situations and our biggest problems into opportunities for lasting, genuine happiness. With warmth, humor and clarity, Tibetan Buddhist Lama, scholar and yogi Khenpo Karten Rinpoche, will give advice on how to do just that through his characteristic blending of personal story, original composition, and classical verse. Rinpoche will also answer your questions.
This virtual public talk was held on Zoom, free and open to the public. This event also preceded the two-day February virtual retreat, which also took place on Zoom.
