Through relatable insights and real-life experiences, it offers guidance on overcoming challenges, deepening your meditation practice, and developing lasting inner peace, clarity, and compassion.
Why do the people we care about most sometimes cause us the greatest pain?
If we have to walk across rough and thorny ground, one way of protecting our feet is to cover the whole ground with leather, but this is not very practical. We can achieve the same result in a much simpler way – by covering our feet.
We don’t need to live a life of a superhero to create good karma. Small actions can create great results, like an oak tree that grows from an acorn.
To really understand and love others, we have to out ourselves in their shoes. This is the practice of exchanging self with others.
Gen Gomlam reveals the root cause of the pain we sometimes feel when we experience loss and separation — an exaggerated sense of need that tells us we cannot be happy without a particular person.
By committing to the inner work of training the mind, while continuing our normal lives, we can gradually reduce distraction, restore balance, and discover the deeper, more stable happiness we have been searching for all along.
In this extract from a teaching by Gen-la Jampa we learn how our mental reaction to difficulty causes more suffering than the hardship itself.
When we discover the true source of all pain and problems: distorted perspectives within our own mind we see the possibility of true freedom.
Discover the Buddhist perspective on karma, not as a system of punishment, but as a universal law of cause and effect.
In this podcast, Gen Chodor explains that all personal and spiritual growth begins in the imagination: we each hold a vision of who we want to become – less stressed, more confident, more peaceful – and without that vision, change is impossible.
