Letting Go of Anger

February

Description

Anger is not fun. It ruins a good day, a good relationship, a good life!

We often think anger will help protect us from past hurts, and we rely on it as if it were our trusted friend. Anger and resentment, however, do not solve problems – they just make them worse. In this talk we will learn skillful techniques to remain balanced, flexible and peaceful in the midst of difficult situations and conflicts, thereby letting go of our real enemy, the painful mind of anger itself.

Everyone is welcome.

Acceptance and Transformation

February - March

Description

Acceptance is an inner strength that enables us to learn and grow from whatever life throws at us. Without cultivating patient acceptance we remain vulnerable to anxiety and frustration, and it is difficult for us to maintain peaceful relationships with others. If on the other hand we understand what true acceptance is and its extraordinary power and value, we will be confident to practice patience acceptance in daily life.

In this series of classes we will explore Buddhist teachings and meditations, which are practical methods for practicing patient acceptance. Through improving our wisdom we can effectively work to change things for the better from a place of peace rather than from annoyance or anger. By using these methods in our daily life we will develop an inner peace that cannot be disturbed by changing conditions.

Join us in learning how empowering and liberating true patience can be!

Everyone is welcome.

Creating Inner Freedom

March - April

Description

Often we feel stuck in painful habits of thought, perceiving our mind and ourself to be fixed and unchanging in its negative ways. We can learn how to dispel the clutter of our mind and the complications of our lives by re-imagining ourself with Buddha’s teachings on acceptance and wisdom.

With an open mind and an open heart we can achieve the lasting freedom we seek.

Everyone is welcome.
