Demo Rinpoche Public Talk
In Search of Satisfaction
The pursuit of happiness is a right under the American constitution, but among our friends, family, and in ourselves we find so much dissatisfaction. “I am surrounded by people, yet I feel lonely.” “I have all the necessities of life, yet something is missing.” Is lasting satisfaction actually a realistic goal? Demo Rinpoche will share Buddha’s forever fresh wisdom on the true source of satisfaction and the transformation of suffering.
