How Not to Take Things Personally: Applying Emptiness to the Practice of Patience
So often in our interactions with others we find ourselves experiencing feelings of hurt, rejection, and not being heard that can lead to developing anger and rage towards others. Within Buddha’s exceedingly practical teachings on patience there is a special category known as ‘the patience of thinking about profound Dharma’ in which we apply the teachings on emptiness to our training.
Join us for our April Special Event with Kadam Morten, followed by a five-week series. Kadam Morten and Kadam Matthew will show how by applying Buddha’s extraordinary insight into ‘no self’ we free ourselves from taking things so personally. This in turn opens us up to a much more flexible and lighthearted way of responding to difficulties. Not only does this greatly improve the quality of our life, it allows us to transform problems and conflicts into opportunities for great spiritual growth.
Kadam Morten is a senior disciple of renowned teacher and author Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. He is the National Spiritual Director and principal teacher at the largest meditation center in New York City (NYC Kadampa Meditation Center). Kadam Morten is greatly admired as a meditation teacher and is especially known for his clarity, humor and inspirational presentation of Dharma. His teachings are always practical and easy to apply to everyday life. Through his gentle and joyful approach and his peaceful example, he has helped many people find true happiness in their hearts.
Kadam Matthew is a general program teacher at the Kadampa Meditation Center in New York City. He is a long-time Kadampa practitioner and teacher who previously served as the Resident Teacher at KMC Brooklyn
