We have survived the difficulties in our life so far therefore we can feel encouraged that we can cope.
Kadam Bridget Heyes
We have survived the difficulties in our life so far therefore we can feel encouraged that we can cope. Because thoughts and feelings are transient, they will change naturally, however the longer we hold onto negative thoughts, the heavier they become so we need to learn to drop these negative thoughts immediately and not dwell on them. This podcast offers helpful advice to help us not be overwhelmed by the never ending challenges life gives us. This podcast is an extract from a teaching given by Kadam Bridget Hayes at Nagarjuna KMC, UK.

Making Hardship Your Spiritual Teacher
Your worst enemy might be your greatest teacher — as Atisha proved by cherishing the cook who made his life miserable.
Build Confidence Nothing Can Destroy
I will conquer all my delusions. They will never conquer me.

When a traveler stays a few nights in a luxurious hotel, he does not develop strong attachment to its comforts because he knows he will soon be moving on.
Why Patience Is True Strength

Wisdom that changes the world
Now is the time to rely on wisdom.
