Thursday Evening 6:00 – 7:15pm
We expend a lot of worry and allow fear to pervade our minds navigating challenging relationships and difficult conversations. During this series, Gen Chokyi will explore:
The dynamics of difficult conversations
Meditation methods we can use to empower us in challenging relationships
How to reframe how we think about challenging people in our lives
How difficult conversations are doorways to growth and opportunity
Through meditation, we can learn techniques to pacify, increase, control and be wrathful. These 4 siddhis, which means attainments or accomplishments, are realized in our own mind through sincerely practicing Dharma fearlessly with challenging relationships and difficult conversations.
Feb 6 — Difficult Conversations: Navigating it with Peace
Feb 13 — Overcoming Fear of Rejection
Feb 20 — The Power to Pacify and Inspire
Feb 27 — Controlling Our Mind with Love & Compassion
The Thursday night meditation class is taught by Gen Kelsang Chokyi with guest Kadampa teachers on occasion.
