In this episode, Lama John talks about holiday stress and how it can be a good time to practice our response to negative karma. He dives into the importance of the collection of merit and insight, how compassion must be the root cause of everything we do, and why it’s best to learn to cherish others more than our selves. He suggests a possible New Year’s resolution, of listening more than speaking, so we can hear when our hearts are closing off to others.
