About this episode

This episode explores practical Dharma-based ways to steady ourselves during difficult times through the lens of the Buddha's teachings.

“When We Stand On Unsteady Ground” is a Dharma talk offered at Two Hands Sangha on how we can actually practice when things feel heavy, uncertain, painful, or overwhelming. Without focusing on any one specific kind of suffering, this talk explores practical Dharma-based ways to steady ourselves during difficult times. We’ll look at the Buddha’s teachings on grief, fear, overwhelm, patience, compassion, and resilience as pragmatic tools for surviving hard moments without losing ourselves inside them. I hope this is useful for you! https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com
