How Not to Take Things Personally
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.
This eight-week series will show us how, by applying Buddha’s extraordinary insight into ‘no self,’ we free ourselves from taking things so personally. This 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, but it also allows us to transform problems and conflicts into opportunities for great spiritual growth.
Everyone welcome.

This class is designed to help those looking for Buddhist wisdom to help with stress relief and relaxation, as well as those interested in exploring the nature of the mind, and pursuing the Buddhist path. It is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
A typical class consists of a guided relaxation meditation, a teaching based on the meditation topic, and a final contemplative meditation. Although classes are given in a series, they can be taken individually, as each class topic is self-contained.
There is no physical exercise, yoga, or stretching involved.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of belief; you do not need to be Buddhist to attend. No pre-registration necessary.
