Managing Anger Mindfully

with Ven. Tenzin Chogkyi
Sunday, August 19, 10am - noon
Most of us struggle with disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, jealousy, resentment, etc., that are disturbing to our own happiness, and often others’ as well. Anger is an emotion that can cause the most harm to us and to others. 
Why do we experience anger so frequently? What is the function of anger? Does Buddhism have any unique perspectives to offer that can help us manage our anger mindfully? Is there such a thing as constructive anger, or is anger always destructive?
Join us to investigate these questions with a exploration that will include discourse, discussion, and a guided meditation session. This session is suitable for new students as well as experienced students wishing to deepen their practice.
