Meditation Workshop
DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE
Sunday 19 October 10am - 1pm
DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE
It’s almost impossible to go through life without encountering people we find difficult. This could be at home, at work, or on the roads. No matter where we are, we can end up feeling frustrated and discouraged. At this workshop with Gen Tsalden, learn how to develop the inner strength and protection from this problem in every avenue of our life. Everyone is welcome.
TIME: 10am to 1pm
COST: $40 (Early bird price. Book before 12 October – $45 after this date).
What To Expect
There are two sessions in each workshop. They consist of an introduction, simple breathing meditation and teaching and conclude with a contemplative meditation on the teaching from that session.
Buddhist meditation involves staying alert and keeping our back straight, so we sit on chairs for the duration of the course. There’s no need to bring anything, although you may wish to bring some water and a jacket. Refreshments are provided in the break session.
Attendees come from all walks of life and there’s no need to have any meditation experience as all meditations are guided. Everyone is welcome.
