Inner strength and confidence Overcoming Anger

Gen-la Dekyong

Gen-la Dekyong inspires us to understand that patient acceptance is an inner strength. It is not a passive reaction but rather a strong active response to difficulty. Patience keeps our mind stable and peaceful – as stable as a mountain and as peaceful as the depths of an ocean. This is an extract from a talk given in Buenos Aires based on the book How to Solve our Human Problems by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
