How Kindness is Contagious
with Venerable Amy Miller
​Sunday, July 26, 2020, 10:30am - 12pm

Facebook Live

For many people, the sudden pause due to the Covid-19 Virus is causing some severe discomfort, fear, boredom, and loneliness. In a bid to protect ourselves, whether consciously or not, many of us tend to harden and become critical and impatient with our emotional processes. Our coping mechanisms may fall into judgment of self or others, or we may shut down. By responding in this way, an authentic dynamic flow of who we really are, along with our unique interconnectedness, gets blocked. Enjoy this “taste” to explore how being present with discomfort fuels a path through our pain, fear, aversion, and laziness to kindness for ourselves and others. Experience mindful self-compassion as not only a phenomenal tool for moving through these less than comfortable times, but also as a key to a deeper and more positive transformation overall.

About the Presenter:
Venerable Amy Miller has been teaching extensively since 1992 and was ordained as a Buddhist nun in June 2000 by the great Tibetan master, Venerable Choden Rinpoche. She has previously directed several FPMT centers and projects for decades and has completed a seven-month solitary retreat. Her teaching style emphasizes a practical approach to integrating Buddhist philosophy into everyday life. She is happy to help people connect with meditation and mindfulness in an effort to gain a refreshing perspective on normally stressful living. Venerable teaches and leads retreats and pilgrimages around the world. Amy is the co-author of Buddhism in a Nutshell - and a contributor to Living in the Path, a series of online courses produced by FPMT. Her teaching schedule and other information can be found at www.AmyMiller.com
