About the event
Life often presents us with challenges, difficulties, and personal “disasters.” In this talk, Venerable Tony Beaumont will explore how these very experiences can become the fertile ground for inner growth, transformation, and flourishing — much like a lotus rising beautifully from the mud.
Drawing on the wisdom of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Ven. Tony will share insights and reflections on:
Recognising how difficulties can fuel personal and spiritual growth
Transforming obstacles into opportunities for wisdom and compassion
Practical ways to cultivate resilience and an open heart in everyday life
This talk is open to all and requires no prior experience of meditation or Buddhism. It offers an inspiring perspective on navigating life’s challenges with courage, clarity, and compassion.
