Solutions for Anxiety

It is easy these days to feel discouraged both with the difficulties we experience in our own lives and those that we see in the world. At this public talk Gen Kelsang Jangchub will share special ways of thinking from Buddha's teachings that give us many reasons to feel hopeful, inspired and deeply encouraged.
