"If
you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be
happy, practice compassion"...His Holiness the Dalai Lama
 To
cultivate the potential for compassion and love inherent within us all,
it is crucial to counteract their opposing forces of anger and hatred.
Using
the popular Buddhist text, "A guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life",
learn how to connect with your natural inner source of patience, wisdom
and warmheartedness. During a weekend of teaching, discussion and
meditation, Venerable Amy will present a very practical and refreshing
perspective on overcoming normal stressful living.
All welcome.
