Find the solution to painful feelings
In these classes, we will learn practical advice on what to do when painful feelings arise in our mind e.g. how to:
- not panic
- take the time to see what is really going on in our mind
- discover where our painful feelings come from
- deal with difficulties with a calm and happy mind through simple meditations.
"Just as there is room in the sky for a thunderstorm, so there is room in the vast space of our mind for a few painful feelings; and just as a storm has no power to destroy the sky, so unpleasant feelings have no power to destroy our mind"
How to Solve Our Human Problems, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

THE EMPTINESS OF THE MIND
Inner Protection through Wisdom and an Open Heart
All phenomena that appear to my mind are the nature of my mind. My mind is the nature of emptiness.
VENERABLE GESHE KELSANG GYATSO RINPOCHE
A Meditation Course with Kadam Morten Clausen
National Spiritual Director of Eastern USA and the Resident Teacher of KMC New York City
We often feel stuck in painful habits of thought, such as anxiety, depression or feelings of hurt. Because we perceive our mind to be fixed and unchanging we feel trapped in these ordinary and painful emotions. But this seemingly inflexible mind does not correspond to our reality. By experiencing the mind’s actual nature, its emptiness, we understand that our potential for change is limitless, that freedom from unhappiness and indeed Enlightenment is possible, and we initiate a joyful process of profound transformation.
In this course we will emphasize gaining actual experience in meditation on both the conventional and ultimate natures of the mind, and then practically applying this experience to help in every facet of our life. Not only will these insights help us to become more open-hearted, flexible, and skilful in letting go of unhappy feelings and delusions, it will greatly empower even the our most profound practices such as universal love and compassion, Mahamudra and Highest Yoga Tantra.

Buddha taught that what we see depends on the mind with which we see it – in other words we see projections of our own mind. This is true for all things, including people. If we learn to see people with positive minds they will appear in a very different way and we will be able to relate to them in positive ways.

Worry and anxiety are becoming increasingly prevalent in modern society, but if we understand their causes in the mind it is possible to gradually reduce and eventually overcome them through meditation and other practices. In this way we can become completely free from anxiety and worry.

Sometimes it seems as if we are defined by our moods and feelings. If we are in a bad mood, for example, we become a certain type of person and behave in a particular way, but if we are in a good mood we are quite a different person and behave quite differently. But we find it difficult to control our feelings and moods and change them from negative to positive. Through meditation, however, we can learn to do this and thus control the kind of person we are.
Daily Puja (Chanted Prayers)
Today's puja ~
Join the prayers online from the Kadampa Temple for World Peace at Manjushri KMC
"In general, prayers made by an assembly of many practitioners are very powerful and cannot be compared to the prayers of one or two people. The scriptures give the analogy of a broom. If we try to clean a floor with a few bristles we shall make little progress, but if we gather many bristles to make a broom we shall be successful."
