We tend to put a lot of focus on becoming physically strong or intellectually astute, and we feel discouraged when we are stressed or worried. We may be afraid or unsure how to face and navigate what's happening within our mind. In this talk, Gen Chokyi will explore the following: - How the experience of mental distress invites the question "Why?" - How to recognize a repetitive cycle of painful feelings and overcome them - The strength of building within our mind the ability to respond vs react to life's difficulties by using wisdom-based meditations to shift our perspectives in a beneficial way “When painful feelings arise in our mind, there is no need to panic; we can patiently accept them, experience them and investigate their nature and where they come from. When we do this, we will discover that painful feelings do not come to us from outside but arise from within our own mind." — Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
