Finding Calm in the Chaos

The Practice of Patient Acceptance

Cost: $10 (Free for Members)

We all have the potential to be deeply peaceful, loving and compassionate. Yet, with so many difficult situations appearing in our life, it’s easy to feel agitated, tense or fearful. How do we deal with these daily difficulties without feeling overwhelmed or depressed?

If we can learn to manage our negative states of mind through the practice of meditation, we can experience all kinds of challenges without becoming despondent or discouraged.

In contemplating and practicing these wisdom teachings on patience, we learn the critical difference between repressing frustration or anger and controlling it, between “putting up with things” with silent irritation and practicing actual patience.

In this five part series, discover and practice profound methods from Buddha’s time-tested teachings and tap into the capacity of our mind in order to develop authentic patience. Although it is most beneficial to attend the entire series, you will gain great benefit by attending even one session. Everyone is welcome.
