How to Solve our Anger Problem 

7.30 - 9pm

Anger is one of the most common and destructive mental bad habits and it afflicts our mind almost every day. To solve the problem of anger, we first need to recognize the anger within our mind, acknowledge how it harms both ourself and others, and appreciate the benefits of being patient in the face of difficulties. We then need to apply practical methods in our daily life to reduce our anger and finally to prevent it from arising at all. Essential practical advice for everyone.

Everyone is welcome

Come and be inspired by an uplifting talk, meditation and discussion with good company in the Kadampa Temple for World Peace.
