Freedom from Painful Emotions
Sundays | 10 - 11:15am
October 12 - December 21
Class price | $15.00 Free for Members
with Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Chenma
Where do our problems come from? In Buddhism, painful emotions are known as ‘delusions’. They are called this precisely because when we are experiencing them our perceptions are distorted. Under their influence we see things incorrectly and react inappropriately. These deluded minds – anger, desirous attachment, jealousy, and deluded pride, are completely unreliable states of mind. They are guaranteed to create unhappiness for ourself and others. In these classes we will learn skillful methods for recognizing them and letting them go. We will also train in the meditation on the clarity of the mind to help us let go of our painful emotions.
