The May 2018 issue of Lion’s Roar magazine features Buddhist teachings on how to deal with difficult people and not be one yourself from Pema Chödrön, Norman Fischer, Karen Maezen Miller, and more. Inside, you’ll also find Tibetan Buddhist teacher Anam Thubten on the lessons he learned after his community’s retreat center fell victim to a wildfire, an exploration of the scientific evidence of rebirth, and more.

More Peace, Less Conflict
