Class Detail
TRANSFORMING ADVERSITY
What’s wrong with things going wrong?
Difficult circumstances, uncertainty and conflict are entirely normal and inevitable at some point in our life, therefore it is good to explore why we dread and inwardly reject them when they arise?
In this series of classes Lekmo will explain and guide meditations on the astonishing practice known as ‘transforming adverse conditions into the path’. This is the practice we all need right now. Through this training, rather than feeling discouraged by all the problems and pain we see around us, and within us, we discover a capacity to turn that negativity on its head, and use it to empower our mind. 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.
