When Life Gives You Lemons: Inspiring Solutions for Difficult Times

Sometimes things go wrong in life, and we feel it is impossible to find true happiness. When we are caught up in these painful, overwhelming minds, is there anything that we can do? Yes! Rather than feeling discouraged by all the problems and pain we see around us, and within us, we can discover a capacity to turn that negativity on its head, and actually use it to empower our mind.
In this workshop, meditation teacher Gen Chogyop will explain and guide practical Buddhist meditations through which we can turn the experience of hardship into something meaningful and enriching. The result is that instead of feeling stuck and helpless, we experience an inner ability to transform suffering into powerful, positive states of mind, such as love, compassion and joy. This power enables us to not only grow spiritually, but also to exude a powerful positive influence on our world. Join us to learn these meaningful methods to transform adverse conditions into the spiritual path!
