About this episode
The episode discusses how patience can lead to inner protection and mental freedom by changing our reactions to life's difficulties.
Patience is a mind that welcomes wholeheartedly whatever arises having given up the idea that things should be other than what they are. In this extract from a teaching by Gen-la Jampa we learn to distinguish outer problems from inner ones and how our mental reaction to difficulty causes more suffering than the hardship itself. He introduces us to using life’s difficulties as a path to lasting inner peace and mental freedom. Further reading in the following book: How to Solve Our Human Problems
