Advice from Atisha’s Heart A four-week course,
Our internal response to outside challengers determines how much we struggle during these difficult and uncertain times. Over four weeks, Gen Opel will guide us towards our own inner peace and strength of mind, reflecting and meditating upon advice found within Kadam Dharma. In this way even though we may feel stressed and anxious for ourselves and others, we can connect with and develop qualities of mind that offer real protection. Everyone can benefit from these teachings and meditations.
