Description:

Monshin Nannette Overley speaks on the three areas of what is classically referred to in Buddhism as the perfection of patience. They include patience with personal pain and hardship; patience with the suffering caused by our interactions with other people; and patience with painful truths about our human life. “Patience is considered an antidote to acting out in anger,” says Nannette, but, “it’s not necessarily passive…It’s a different kind of spirit of meeting the situation that’s there even though it’s not what we’re asking for at the moment.”
