Use Your Quarantine as an Opportunity for Personal Growth

“Resistance to change puts us at odds with reality, and this creates never-ceasing dissatisfaction.” Mingyur Rinpoche The coronavirus has brought us challenging times full of change. It may be difficult for us to find balance in this time of uncertainty. This week we offer teachings and practice to help us find the wisdom to accept this opportunity for personal growth and development. Tough times are where the most learning and growth happens. Instead of shutting down in a challenging period, we can use these moments as times to learn who we truly are. In a world that appears to be growing increasingly harsh and threatening by the day, our central challenge is to remain balanced and open to the world around us. In this live talk, Rinpoche will offer practical advice on how we can use tough times as an opportunity for personal growth. Join us for a live-streamed teaching with Mingyur Rinpoche on Sunday, April 26 at 12:00 Noon EDT (18:00 CEST). Simultaneous translation will be available in multiple languages. Visit streaming.tergar.org for the details. Living in a world that is going through such challenging times on a global level brings us face to face with the reality of change. When we are able to accept the change happening around us, we strengthen our ability to simply be. In this live talk, Myoshin Kelley will be looking at ways we can support ourselves in finding balance and an open-hearted presence in the midst of constant change.
