Buddhability Short: Why aren’t the things I chant for happening faster?

Buddhability Shorts is a monthly series where we break down a Buddhist concept or common life challenge we’ve touched on in an interview. This summer we’re answering listener questions and many of you asked about why some things you chant about don’t happen on the timeline you want. Today we’re answering that question!

To ask a question about the basics of Buddhism, you can email us at connect@buddhability.org
