Chakung Jigme Wandrak Rinpoche returns to Pema Osel Ling in March to offer insight into how to meet life’s challenges — and joys — with a more open, resilient heart.
Drawing from his book Loving Life as It Is: A Buddhist Guide to Ultimate Happiness, Chakung Jigme Wangdrak Rinpoche will offer direct teachings on transforming pain and confusion into clarity, courage, and compassion.
In this teaching, you will learn how to:
Take suffering and happiness as the path, let go of self-grasping, face inner and outer obstacles with stability and cultivate contentment, patience, and gratitude.
