Fall into Inner Peace
with Tom McGuire
In our fast-paced, complex and increasingly dangerous world, we can feel overwhelmed by our own suffering and all the terrible suffering we see, hear, and read about across the world. However, Buddha teaches us that if we train in compassion—a mind that sincerely wishes to liberate all living beings from suffering permanently—our own mind remains uplifted, even as our hearts break for others' pain. Thus we are empowered to gradually free ourselves and others from problems and suffering. To accomplish this, we train in cultivating a pure mind, even amidst all the challenges of modern life, transforming our response to difficult situations. Through training in this way we discover a deep, lasting inner peace filled with compassion.
