Lopon Dorje Khandro (Dr. Lourdes Arguelles )will be teaching on the Third Paramita or Perfection of Patience. In this session, she will be addressing three types of patience: the patience of accepting suffering, the patience of disregarding the harm done by others, and the patience of having certainty in the Dharma. Lopon-la will also talk about  recent scientific research on the Biology of Impatience which focuses on the  negative effects of  habitual impatience, irritability, and restlessness on one's mental and physical health including at the cellular level.

The teaching session will be preceded by prayers and a Vajrasattva Purification Meditative Practice. It will be followed by a  Tonglen (Sending and Receiving) practice on one's own suffering.
