Two years into the Covid pandemic, the importance of developing inner qualities that help us to work with external challenges is clear. Buddhist nun Venerable Thubten Chodron shares with us how to develop confidence, resilience, and optimism, which enable us to be our own best friend and a resource to others in whatever circumstances we find ourselves in.
Venerable Chodron speaks at North Idaho College twice a year to share how Buddhist ideas can be helpful in dealing with contemporary issues. NIC students and the general public are all welcomed. North Idaho College Diversity Council hosts this event. For questions, contact Laura Templeman at [email protected]
