Growing with Suffering | Ram Dass Lecture 1980s

1980's. Ram Dass gives lecture on internal and external suffering. He says that resisting our suffering creates more suffering for ourselves and for other people. We need to practice listening, and to observe the way the mind responds to somebody's story. It responds with judgement or distancing itself. Let's practice listening and watching our own reactions and hopefully we can quiet down in terms of being with the presence of suffering. Ram Dass opens the microphone for others to share their views of suffering.
