Learning not to retaliate
~ cultivating the inner strength of patience
7.30 - 9pm
Anger is everyone’s principal enemy. Anger is the friend of no-one and brings nothing but unhappiness. Learn how to overcome our instinctive desire to retaliate and practice non-retaliation. Eventually through training, anger will no longer be a natural response for us to hardship or provocation and we will experience the peace and joy that patience brings to our life.
In this series of classes we will cover important topics such as:
- Training in patient acceptance with compassion.
- Making a strong decision to not allow anger to arise
- Providing protection for our mind
- Who suffers and who benefits?
- Making our suffering meaningful
- How anger and jealousy are related
- Overcoming our objections!
Practical and essential advice for everyone.

How to Understand the Mind ~ A Practical Guide to developing & maintaining a light positive mind
In this series of classes following the extraordinary book How to Understand the Mind (Part One) by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, we will begin to develop a clear understanding of the mind. We will discover how to engage in the essence of Dharma practice, by learning how to recognise and abandon states of mind that harm us and replace them with peaceful beneficial states. This is the real purpose of being born human. Invaluable and practical advice for everyone.
