Our Problems

Do you learn from what you go through? Jack Kornfield (a former Buddhist monk and one of the key teachers to introduce Buddhist mindfulness practice to the West) wisely stated, “The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.” Isn’t that beautiful? Isn’t it freeing? Our problems don’t have to be shameful. Or run from. They are the very place that we learn what we know.
