By Rev. Julia Corbett-Hemeyer
An incident that occurred on a recent summer vacation led me to the
reflections that became “Bedeviled by Dukkha: When Life Disappoints
Us.” No matter who we are or where we live, disappointment will find
us – it’s a shared human experience. Buddhism has something to teach
us about how to lessen the sting of disappointment, whether we’re
Buddhist or not.
