Our deepest conditioning urges us to find peace and happiness and to avoid suffering. And yet peace and happiness are often elusive\, while suffering often finds us unexpectedly. \nWe tend to forget that this difficulty is inherent in living a human life\, and see it instead as a personal failing. And in doing this we add to life’s difficulties by blaming ourselves for not being good enough. \nAnd so\, as we do this difficult thing of being human\, we find ourselves needing to relearn how to offer ourselves support\, encouragement\, and kindness. We find ourselves needing to learn the art of mindful self-compassion. \nDrawing on lessons from life\, the Buddhist tradition\, and neuroscience\, Bodhipaksa offers a four-step approach to the practice of self-compassion. It’s a tool simple enough that we can carry it with us everywhere and offer ourselves support in passing moments of suffering. It’s a tool powerful enough that it can help sustain us during times of intense suffering. And it’s a tool that helps us to deepen the compassion we offer not just to ourselves\, but to others as well. \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.
