About this episode

Peter Doobinin discusses how dharma students can meet life's challenges through meditation and mindfulness, leading to true happiness.

As dharma students, we develop meditation and the skills of mindfulness so that can awaken. In the process of awakening, we learn to meet life on life's terms. We learn to meet the difficulties and challenges of life. In doing so, we're not simply seeking to endure the challenges of life. We're seeking to learn. The message of the path, as Peter Doobinin explains, is a message of joy, brightness, true happiness. By meeting the challenges of life, we know the happiness that the path offers. This talk was given in February 2026. New York Dharma: www.nydharma.org
