What We Can Do For Others: Healing Ourself and the World Through a Fully Engaged Heart

Buddha's teachings show us that the best way to heal our hearts is by turning our focus outward, to others. We all carry within us a legacy of all the pain, anger, hurt and negativity we've experienced and engaged in the past. It is this legacy that keeps us trapped in unhappiness and stuck in patterns of unhelpful or even destructive behavior. In this series we will learn special methods for engaging with the world in a healthy openhearted fashion, healing both ourselves and our relationships.
