Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link

Speaker: Anya Hunter. Anya emphasizes the importance of cultivating kindness and taming our minds. To be kind to ourselves we have to challenge conditioned beliefs such as perfectionism and self-aggression; to extend kindness to others, we have to widen our perspective and care to include all beings. To attain these qualities, we need to heighten our awareness and discipline our minds through practices like the four immeasurables, tonglen, and shamatha.
