Facing Adversity: Stories from our lives




In our diverse and often conflicted world, adversity can arise from many sources: not getting what we want or desperately need, such as food or shelter, losing something we treasure, such as a home or a loved one, and meeting with circumstances we don't want or deserve, including illness or chronic pain, and continuous unjust treatment from others.

Each of us responds to adversity in different ways. And over time we might respond differently to the same situation, whether with anger, anxiety, frustration, and despair, or moving to resilience, resolve, compassion, acts of loving-kindness, and newfound joy. These responses are all real, valid, and part of the process of being in this world.


Come to this conference and listen to the stories told by others. Share your own stories. Deepen your understanding of what it is to be human in this world of ours.

དུས་ཚོད་ཀྱིས་བླ་མ་སྐྱེས་ཆེན་རྣམ་པའི་ལུང་བསྟན་གྱི་བདེན་པ་དངོས་སུ་གསལ་བར་བྱས་ཡོད། ཁོང་རྣམ་པའི་གསུང་ནི་དོན་མེད་པའི་ཁས་ལེན་ཙམ་མིན་ལ། བསླུ་བྲིད་དང་རྫུན་གྱི་ཆ་ཙམ་ཡང་མེད། དེ་དག་ནི་ཟབ་མོའི་མཁྱེན་རབ་ལས་བྱུང་བའི་བདེན་གསུང་ཡིན་ཞིང་། ཇི་ལྟར་ལུང་བསྟན་གནང་བ་བཞིན་དོན་དུ་གྲུབ་ཡོད།

Time has revealed the truth of the great masters’ predictions. Their words were not empty promises, nor touched by deception; they arose from profound wisdom and have unfolded exactly as foretold.”
