Can suffering actually be a gem - a silver lining? How can suffering actually become our guiding light on our spiritual journeys?

My guest today helps us understand the value and importance of suffering through the Tibetan Buddhist lens. Lopön Chandra Easton is a renowned Tibetan Buddhist teacher, scholar and author. She is the Vajra Teacher at the Tara Mandala Retreat Center and professor at the USCB Religions Department.

Chandra Easton opens up about her own spiritual journey - rediscovering herself through personal hurdles. She dissects the law of karma for us and explains the hurdles in our karmic cycle, through the Buddhist lens. We try to understand how difficulties are alway blessings!

She also explains the intersection of Tantra and Buddhism. How can we awaken the divine energy within us through mantras? And how does Deity and God worship work within us? She breaks down the beauty of Goddess Tara.

This is a vulnerable letter from a Buddhist practitioner to the world! It's a guiding light that we can all meditate on together, to gain our life philosophy NOW! Listen, learn and grow with us as seekers.
