Joyful Wisdom 21 - Book Study with Lama Kathy Wesley at Karma Thegsum Chöling Southern California on November 21, 2024.
Lama Kathy teaches Joyful Wisdom by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, which addresses the timeless problem of anxiety in our everyday lives. "From the 2,500-year-old perspective of Buddhism," Rinpoche writes, "every chapter in human history could be described as an 'age of anxiety.' The anxiety we feel now has been part of the human condition for centuries."
So what do we do? Escape or succumb? Both routes inevitably lead to more complications and problems in our lives. "Buddhism," he says, "offers a third option. We can look directly at the disturbing emotions and other problems we experience as stepping stones to freedom. Instead of rejecting or surrendering to them, we can befriend them, working through them to reach an enduring authentic experience of our inherent Wisdom, confidence, clarity, and joy."
