Gelong Thubten’s latest book, ‘A Handbook for Difficult Times’, is based on Tibetan Buddhist meditation and written in an accessible style for everyone. Thubten explains how life’s difficulties can be an opportunity to deepen our meditation practice and discover our inner strength. By embracing our suffering, we develop deeper compassion and wisdom, and find an indestructible inner happiness.

Thubten's book offers a roadmap to fearlessness, with valuable meditation advice and practical exercises. It includes methods for integrating loving kindness, forgiveness and wisdom into our daily lives.

At the festival, Gelong Thubten will give a lecture on the topics in his book, followed by a question-and-answer session and a signing session of his book.
