We can deepen our understanding and faith in Buddhism by experiencing firsthand how the teachings of the Buddha, shield us from suffering and life’s challenges. Through this insight, we cultivate a stronger belief in the Buddha, recognizing how his blessings empower us to release our negative thoughts and embrace the positive states of mind that offer true protection. This podcast is an extract from a teaching given by Kadam Bridget Hayes at Nagarjuna KMC, UK. It is based on the book Modern Buddhism by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso https://tharpa.com/us/modern-buddhism-free-ebook
