Modern Buddhism for everyone!

Saturday 8th November | 10am-5pm
Day Course with Kelsang Naljor

In our lives there are many difficult and unpleasant circumstances that we cannot avoid, but we can certainly avoid the unhappiness and anger that these circumstances normally provoke in us. It is often our habitual negative reactions to hardships, and our habit of not forgetting them, rather than the hardship itself, that disturb our day-to-day peace of mind.

On this day we can explore how to let go of resentful thoughts and other negative emotions so we can lead a peaceful life. Everybody welcome!
