20 Suggestions for Dealing with Overwhelm. (Open to all)

From Shabda Articles on Sun, 30 Sep, 2018 - 12:47

The past 2 or 3 years have been troubled times: both in the wider world and in Triratna. I’ve watched a lot of people I care about feeling overwhelmed by it all. In response I’ve been gathering my thoughts about how to use the Dharma to avoid being swept away by our reactions when we’re surrounded by turmoil.
