Approaching Buddhism: A Discerning Exploration
John Bruna, spiritual director of the Way of Compassion Dharma Center, continues commentary on the initial section of the text “Approaching Buddhism” by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Venerable Thubten Chödron. John describes how the path, rooted in the Four Noble Truths, requires a discerning mind that is open to ideas that challenge our deeply established beliefs. We are also encouraged to adopt a broader view that encompasses our fellow sentient beings and how that view leads to less suffering and more resiliency.
