Summary: Speaker: Paula Breymeier. Paula reflects on how peace, stability, and realization are to be found only in discipline, devotion, and wisdom. We try to alleviate our sense of anxiety and loneliness by numbing or distracting ourselves, but this only generates more confusion. To alleviate suffering, we need to understand our true nature; realizing the emptiness of self enables us to face adversity fearlessly. The lineage, the source of this wisdom, provides the context we need to cultivate devotion and prajna.
