Illness & Strength

Michael teaches the distinction between pain and suffering and how everything is about healing. He explores the psychology behind these often intertwined experiences through the lens of one of the Buddha’s lesser-known teachings: The Two Darts. Michael begins by introducing this concept, offering a fresh perspective on how we can approach and manage the challenging mental and physical states that life throws our way. Recorded June 19, 2007
