In a speedy and aggressive culture, we need different principles to live by-bravery and insight. The first moment of bravery is building trust in the mind, which we do in meditation. When we know how to create peace in our own mind, we can transform the world.
Sakyong MiphamEnlightened Society is all about nurturing the human spirit - waking up to the goodness, kindness and strength that we already have.
