Like the waves of the ocean, experience is always changing, and we are constantly faced with challenges and obstacles. In the face of this change, the practice is to cultivate an inner resilience and to recognize awareness in the midst of the turmoil. When we do so, the challenges we face become supports for our spiritual growth; they become an invitation to recognize our basic goodness. In this teaching, Mingyur Rinpoche discusses the importance of patience in this process and how it can aid us in developing our inner resilience.
