- November 2: Knives out - re-imagining the people who hurt us
We are profoundly hurt when the things or people we love are taken from us or leave. We can feel crushed by anger, and isolated in resentment. Friends may fail to listen or understand. Others rush to give advice - which only makes things worse. We want to believe in peace. But we just can't find the way. Meditation feels impossible.
This series is about finding peace at the times we need it most. Humility, acceptance, and kindness will pervade each class. We will learn meditations, and mindfulness practices that can help us make meaning from our experience and to grieve. Join with others as we find strength together, and compassionate wisdom from the Buddhist path to Enlightenment.
Geshe Langri Tangpa said of the people who hurt us: "may I see them as my holy spiritual guide." Let's explore what those words might actually mean for us.
