Cheryl frames patience as an active, practice-based dharma: cultivate it by returning to the breath, observing the gap between stimulus and response, and engaging the world with wisdom rather than reactivity. The session walks through breath-focused meditation, recognizing wander, and pausing before speaking or acting, all to cultivate steadiness and compassionate discernment in daily life. The talk also ties patience to ethical action and the Six Perfections as ongoing qualities rather than isolated moments.
