Upper West Side Buddhist Meditation Class

Transforming Painful Emotions

This class is offered in-person only

In this course, we will be focusing on Buddha’s illuminating teachings on how we can transform our painful and uncontrolled states of mind — the true source of all our suffering — and eventually be free of them.

In each session, we will focus on how to deal with a particular painful state of mind — what Buddha called the delusions, such as anger, jealousy, uncontrolled desire, etc.– learning practical methods to reduce its hold on us and in this way allow us to experience a deep and satisfying emotional freedom. As our delusions diminish, we draw closer to the person we wish to be: joyful, confident, loving, and flexible, able to deal skillfully with whatever arises.

September 11: Uncovering the Real Source of Our Suffering
September 18: Transforming Anger
September 25: Where Happiness Can be Found
October 2: Jealousy versus Rejoicing
October 9: No Class
October 16: Insecurity Versus Confidence
