In this teaching extract, Kadam Morten explores how our relationships offer a powerful opportunity to find deeper meaning in life. Rather than pursuing the limited goals we often seek in our connections with others, we can learn to see these relationships not as obstacles to a spiritual life, but as essential opportunities to train the mind and cultivate the virtuous qualities that lead to genuine fulfillment and a truly meaningful life.

A wisdom solution for loneliness and grief
Discover one of the main sources of our pain: desirous attachment. This teaching explains how this sneaky mental habit masquerades as a path to happiness, but is in reality deceiving us. Attachment exaggerates the good qualities of someone and erases the bad thereby creating a person who seems to be the key to our happiness but is not! Gen Gomlam explains how to distinguish between attachment and pure love, enabling us build healthy relationships, free from pain. Based on the book How to Understand the Mind by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Learning Resilience
From a Buddhist perspective, the first step toward true resilience is accepting that hardship, stress, and change are a natural part of being human. Rather than fighting reality or clinging to the idea of āgetting back to normal,ā resilience invites us to meet life as it is ā knowing that we will be changed by our experiences, and thatās okay. What we need is to allow challenges to change us for the better! Resilience doesnāt come from avoiding suffering, but from facing it with patience and compassion.
