Patient Acceptance: Beyond Taking Things Personally

So often in our interactions with others we find ourselves experiencing feelings of hurt, rejection, and not being heard that can lead to developing anger and rage towards others. Buddha gave exceedingly practical teachings on patient acceptance – by applying these practical methods as well as Buddha’s extraordinary insight into ‘no self’ we free ourselves from taking things so personally. This in turn opens us up to a much more flexible and lighthearted way of responding to difficulties. Not only does this greatly improve the quality of our life, it allows us to transform problems and conflicts into opportunities for great spiritual growth.
