In the days of extremism and severely divisive belief systems, learning patience and compassion practices (from the modern master of patience and compassion) is more valuable than ever.

Drawing on A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, theDalaiLama reveals how learning patience and compassion practices is more essential than ever as we navigate an era of extremism and divisiveness

All of the world's major religions emphasize the importance of love, compassion, and tolerance. This is particularly true in the Buddhist traditions, which unanimously state that compassion and love are the foundation of all paths of practice. To cultivate the potential for compassion and love inherent within us, it is crucial to counteract their opposing forces of anger and hatred.

In Perfecting Patience, theDalaiLama shows how, through the practice of patience and tolerance, we can overcome the obstacles of anger and hatred. He bases his discussion on A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, the classic work on the activities of bodhisattvas-those who aspire to attain full enlightenment in order to benefit all beings.
