A Calm Mind in Times of Turbulence Khenpo Sodargye at University of Chicago
In this timely and profoundly relevant lecture delivered at the University of Chicago's Bond Chapel, Khenpo Sodargye Rinpoche addresses one of our era's most pressing questions: How do we maintain inner peace when the world around us seems increasingly chaotic? Speaking at the end of 2017—a year marked by political upheaval, technological disruption, and unprecedented social change—Khenpo offers ancient Buddhist wisdom for navigating modern turbulence.
From artificial intelligence replacing 77% of jobs in China to mass shootings, from political polarization to the rapid obsolescence of knowledge itself, we face challenges our ancestors never imagined. Even scientist Stephen Hawking warned this is humanity's most critical moment in history. In such times, how do we respond? Khenpo presents a practical four-step framework drawn from Buddhist psychology: **Equanimity, Insight, Acceptance, and Going with the Flow**—tools for transforming chaos into clarity, fear into wisdom.
This lecture transcends political divisions and cultural boundaries to address the universal human need for mental stability amid constant change. Whether you're facing career disruption, relationship challenges, personal loss, or simply the overwhelming pace of modern life, Khenpo's teachings offer a roadmap for finding peace not by controlling circumstances, but by transforming your relationship with them.
