Joy is a reflection of a selfless mind and a compassionate heart. As His Holiness the Dalai Lama puts it, “…taking care of others, helping others, ultimately is the way to discover your own joy and to have a happy life.”
Rejoicing in the goodness in others, and ourselves, and practicing gratitude are methods that kindle joy. Geshe Sherab will touch on these practices and on suffering and its role in creating compassion, love, and joy. He will encourage us to tap into our innate reservoir of joy to meet the challenges of now.
