The Gentle Art Of Patience | Ven Canda

Patience does not mean waiting for a better, more pleasant experience to arrive in the future, but is rather a wholehearted, radical acceptance of the present moment with all its imperfections. When we are searching for our happiness in the future, or carrying the pain of the past, we are separated from the beauty, freedom and joy available here and now. A Buddhist nun since 2006, Ven Candā emphasises kindness and letting go as a way to deepen stillness and wisdom.
