Approaching Buddhism: A Good State of Mind

The Way of Compassion Dharma Center’s spiritual director, John Bruna, engages in conversation and guidance around cultivating a good state of mind. John begins by answering questions about karma and the realms of existence as described from the Buddhist perspective. He then unpacks the teachings from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Venerable Thubten Chodron on growing a good state of mind. He gives practical ways to engage in practices that can bring contentment, understanding, tolerance, compassion, love, and much more. We don’t just have to pull the weeds from our gardens, we can also grow flowers.
