Freedom from Anger and Resentment
Oct 7, 14, 28, Nov 4, (no class Oct 21)
10.00am-12.00pm
IN PERSON
Anger, from minor annoyance to complete meltdown, afflicts our mind almost every day. When our wishes are frustrated, we can become angry with anyone or anything – our co-workers, our loved ones, society, even inanimate objects. Resentment is even worse because it holds on to this anger, becoming a destructive force of unhappiness in our lives. If instead we learn to practice patience – a peaceful, flexible, accepting mind – we can overcome these painful and destructive emotions and transform even the most difficult situations into opportunities for spiritual growth.
In this course, we will learn skillful techniques to remain balanced, flexible and peaceful in the midst of difficult situations and conflicts, and eventually overcome our worst enemy, the painful mind of anger.
