Talk theme: Patience as Safety, Help & Creativity
“Patience” is one of the most important and useful, but undervalued, skills from a Buddhist perspective. It is not merely tolerance, enduring or resignation. It is, instead, a purposeful process that can act as a source of safety, help and creativity in meditation, practice and daily life. It is something we can use regularly to support making choices and decisions that enrich, rather than diminish us.
This will be the field of exploration for this Thursday evening. Dennis Warren, SIM’s Founding Teacher, will explore these issues in the context of his recent major accident, and rehabilitation, involving multiple fractures to his back and ribs.
This subject is appropriate for all stages of practice. You can attend in person or by ZOOM. Dennis will be presenting in person and encourages you to be there in person as well.
