American Dharma (Link #570)

from Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link · host Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and students

Speaker: Greg Richardson. Greg Richardson explores how Dharma is established in new cultures and how practitioners can best adapt aspects of their culture to further their attainments on the path. Focusing in particular on the establishment and practice of Dharma in the United States, he cites the American qualities of vigor and grit as traits we can apply to cultivate our own practice. Stripped of competitiveness and re-oriented away from external achievements, vigor can help us overcome the three kinds of laziness (distraction, procrastination, and self-doubt); grit can provide the determination to develop and perfect the skills we need to attain enlightenment and buddhahood.
