About Patience

In the context of dharma, patience is the practice of enduring hardships, challenges, and provocations without anger or frustration. It involves maintaining a calm and composed mind, recognizing the impermanent nature of all phenomena, and responding to difficulties with understanding and compassion. Patience is crucial for spiritual growth, helping practitioners overcome obstacles and develop inner peace. It is one of the six paramitas (perfections) in Mahayana Buddhism, essential for achieving enlightenment and fostering harmonious relationships with others.
