Opening to Life As It Is: Not Hiding from the Heartbreak (Link #756)

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

Speaker: Morgan Starr. Morgan describes how navigating personal challenges has allowed him to explore the idea of turning toward suffering rather than avoiding it. Leaning into grief and heartbreak rather than resisting or numbing it has opened the door to compassion, presence, and growth. He recalls a sense of sacredness and wonder he felt in early life, which has faded over time but is now restored through his spiritual practice with MSB. Morgan recounts multiple quotes from Rinpoche about pain, which, when met with courage and curiosity, can serve as the gateway to liberation. Choosing to soften, lighten up, and cultivate self-awareness and love for others can create spaciousness and clarity even in moments of heartbreak.
