In the Buddhist tradition, a broken heart is not a problem to be solved, but a remarkable opportunity to discover wisdom. This evening talk will introduce you to the skills needed to work with a broken heart – not to drive it away or tie it up with a bow, but to find the messages contained in this most difficult situation.
Whether your heart was broken yesterday or years ago, all the elements are there to discover your innate spiritual warriorship. As we talk, you will discover that the dark power of heartbreak can introduce you to gentleness, fearlessness, and intelligence. If you stay with your broken heart, it will surely lead you down the path to wisdom.
