Sunday Dharma Discussion: Gaining Strength from Illness; how adversity can be the foundation for spiritual growth

Chronic illness, with the pain and fatigue that can accompany it, can present a daily challenge to our happiness and even our sense of who we are. Unable to live the life we envisioned for ourselves, we can sink into depression, anger and helplessness.  But these adversities also create opportunities to explore and apply the teachings in our own lives in ways that are profoundly powerful.

In this Sunday Dharma discussion, senior student Karen Edwards will lead us through a discussion of the opportunities that illness present for spiritual growth.
