We are very happy to welcome Don Handrick back to teach at Lama Yeshe Ling this April. Don combines years of study and a profound understanding of the Buddha’s teachings with a very kind and gentle approach.
Whether at work or in our social lives, we inevitably have to face difficult people and undesired situations, and yet, according to Buddhist teachings, these challenges have the potential to become a wellspring of opportunity to deepen our practice and enhance our wellbeing. In this session, we will examine how to modify our perception of such difficult circumstances and thus deepen our awareness of the dimensions for learning that are not immediately evident to us. We’ll also examine the practical steps we can take to apply that new understanding to welcome and respond more effectively to those things we usually find unwelcome.
When: Saturday, April 12th, 2025, 10:00 – 11:30 am EDT
Where: Online. To watch the teachings online on Zoom please register here. (this is a very simple and quick registration process by email), or watch the sessions live-streamed on Facebook or YouTube.

Help us to make an offering to Don for his insightful teachings.
Our programs are given freely, and we also rely on your generosity – this is the traditional and pure way of the Buddha Dharma. Offering support for the Dharma can be a limitlessly powerful act. This is the highest, most long-term form of generosity, which is to share with others the path to full awakening. When we support the Dharma we create causes for us to encounter the Dharma frequently, and we create the merit to be able to integrate the teachings in our minds easily. Offering support deepens our connection to Dharma teachers and connects us as a community.
