Buddhist Wisdom for Unstable Times (2017)

October 1, 2017 

In this talk, Dharma teacher Fred Eppsteiner explains that during this time of changing climate, political and social instability, and increasing sense of uncertainty, a Dharma practice is needed more than ever. He explained how having a more accurate view of life can help us not be swept away so easily by the back and forth that inevitably occur in life.  For instance, deeply reflecting on the impermanent nature of all phenomena can help us live from a place of understanding that we will one day be separated from all our possessions and everyone we love.  Fred encourages us to cultivate right view and then to go on to cultivate a meditative life to develop an inner stability not contingent on outside factors.
