This causes us to perform all kinds of unskilful and inappropriate actions. It is because of this that living beings suffer and cause others to suffer - not because they freely choose to do so. When we understand this deeply, we will never feel anger towards others. Instead of anger, compassion will arise naturally in our hearts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn this brief half-day course, Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab will explain the patience of definitely thinking about Dharma using our understanding of emptiness and dependent relationships in order to give rise to deep compassion in our hearts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"1024\"\u003eSuitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike.
