Buddhist Wisdom, Modern Life

Dharma for dark times: Why Buddhism isn't just about feeling better and how Avalokiteshvara got all those arms


Listen Later

Today’s episode is a little different. I’m sharing some “inspirational” writing I did for my own sangha, Dawn Mountain’s, newsletter a couple of weeks ago. This is my appreciation for the dharma’s ability to help us not just feel better but also navigate the difficult times in life without giving up. I’ll share the story of how bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara got 11 heads and 1,000 arms.
