Description
Speaker: Susan Walp. Following Rinpoche's advice, Susan shares her personal journey in learning to practice the Dharma from a place of enjoyment, rather than discipline.

In examining what inspires her to practice, she is learning to approach her practice from a place of appreciation, warmth, creativity and inner joy.
