In Buddhist practice, anger is often seen as a storm that consumes the positivity in the mind. Patience, conversely, is cultivated as a profound strength, a serene mountain against the storms of emotional turmoil, teaching us the art of enduring through understanding and compassion.
Through mindful observation and meditation, we can transform the energy of our anger into a catalyst for patience, fostering inner peace and wisdom in the face of life’s difficulties.
Each class will consist of teachings, guided meditation and discussion to help you uncover the possibility that exists within you for change.
Everyone is welcome to drop in to any or all of the classes in this series. No experience necessary.
Remaining topics in this series:
February 12 The Strength of Patience
February 19 Accept Your Suffering
February 26 Compassion Is Your Protector
March 5 The Wisdom of Dependent Arising
General Program (GP) classes are suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. 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 consists of a guided relaxation meditation, a teaching based on the meditation topic, and final contemplative meditation. Although 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.
GP classes last approximately 1.5 hours. 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.
