We are all acutely aware of the tumultuous times we are living in. Even though the unique challenges of the pandemic seem to be easing, we continue to face critical environmental issues, and war and conflict persist in many parts of the world. What can a dharma practitioner, even a new meditator, do, when at times we may feel powerless?
Rigpa Senior Teacher Philippe Cornu shares his advice for these times.
What better time than the new year to reflect on our path! The recent December / January Sangha Day was an opportunity for everyone - older and newer students to pause, take stock and reflect on what they want to focus on in their study and practice at this time.
