Show Notes

If we watch our thoughts we may find that we often wish that things were other than they are and this brings continuous dissatisfaction and unhappiness. The practice of patient acceptance solves all the problems associated with this discontented mind. Gen Devi shows how to develop acceptance through finding another way to respond to painful feelings so that they do not trigger a habitual but unhelpful response. This is an extract from a talk given at KMC Switzerland and is based on the book How to Solve our Human Problems by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
