Unravelling the Hidden Causes of Anger, Part II
This class is offered in person only
$10 per class, free for supporting members
Is anger ever righteous? Has anger ever given you the happiness and protection that you want? In Buddhism, painful emotions such as anger are known as ‘delusions.’ They are called this precisely because they are delusional ways of seeing the world and distort our experiences. Delusions such as anger are completely unreliable states of mind, guaranteed to create unhappiness for ourselves and others.
In this series we look at the third of the six perfections, the perfection of patient acceptance. Through this training we learn to relate to our unhappiness, anger in an open, creative way. This training gives us the skill to transform our unhealthy and painful emotions into the very minds of acceptance, kindness and love that will solve our problems.

Training in Letting Go
Whether it’s a touch of the winter blues, increasing stress, anxiety or other unhealthy emotions, negative self-talk or tendencies towards overthinking and distraction, we can all get caught up in these at times. In this weekly Friday GP class learn proven methods for everyone to train in letting them go in the moment and become increasingly free of them moment to moment.
Also, discover how to view life from a fresh new perspective that enables us to maintain a peaceful, positive mind no matter what’s happening in our day or life, that naturally prevents unhealthy emotions and the unhelpful mental habits that generate them, from arising in the first place.
