In today’s fast-paced world, we often find ourselves yearning for peace of mind. However, our attachment to achieving this calm can ironically lead to frustration and unhappiness, encounter obstacles that hinder our pursuit. In this podcast, Gen Tekchen explores how the quest for peace if not guided by wisdom can ultimately create more problems, and shows how the solution is a deep understanding of where peace comes from. Join us as we delve into a deeper understanding of where genuine peace originates and how we can cultivate it in our lives. This talk is based on on the book How to Transform Your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Available as a free download
