This Sunday, Patrick led our meditation and reflection on the theme of practicing in difficult times.

Centered on a talk by Gil Fronsdal, we discussed ways in which experiencing difficult situations can be seen as a natural part of life and not a punishment. Seen through a different perspective, such situations can then be acted upon with wisdom and compassion.
