Summary

Can you recall an experience from your past that felt simply awful at the time, but you now see as something positive and necessary for your personal growth? When we're in the midst of a painful situation, it's natural for us to resist, complain, or wish it would just go away. The last thing we want to hear from someone is, "Be grateful for this learning opportunity!" In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with world-renowned meditation teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche about his book In Love with the World, and how we can begin to transform suffering into a pathway to compassion and connection.

Give a listen for some profound insights on: adding wood to the fire, or turning obstacles into opportunities; thinking outside of the box for solutions; impermanence; making friends with life's ups and downs; challenging yourself to grow and testing your level of realization in the real world; uncovering the fundamental qualities of awareness, love, and compassion within you; cultivating courage; bardo practice and meditating on our mortality; discovering the ground of luminosity; the four-step process of offering, dedication, intention, and motivation; emptiness, or "unborn awareness"; how acceptance leads to freedom; maintaining confidence and trust during times of uncertainty or despair; and more.
