Anger is poison. It robs us of our peace of mind, clouds our logic, and causes us to say and do things we regret.
Patient acceptance is its opponent, and if we are truly interested in being a happy person and a spiritual practitioner, the practice of patience is essential.
In this series we will learn ways to develop the very precious and powerful mind of patience, and practical ways to apply patience in our daily life to increase our happiness, day by day.
No meditation experience needed – Everyone is invited to drop in to any or all sessions in this series

General Program (GP) classes are suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. While classes are given in a series around one specific theme, they are drop-in in nature and can be taken individually, as each class topic is self-contained.
The classes are designed to help those looking for Buddhist wisdom to help with stress relief and relaxation, as well as those interested in exploring the nature of the mind, and pursuing the Buddhist path.
Classes explore the basic framework of Buddhist teachings and meditation and explain how to use Buddha’s advice in our daily lives to solve our problems. All General Program classes are based on commentaries by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
A typical class is 1.5 hours and consists of a guided relaxation meditation, a teaching based on the meditation topic, and final contemplative meditation. Chairs and cushions are provided by the Center. No special clothing is required, and there is no physical exercise, yoga, or stretching involved.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of belief; you do not need to be Buddhist to attend.
