About this event
with Buddhist Teacher Kadam Peter Kurczynski
Finding peace with grief and loss
We are profoundly hurt when the things or people we love are taken from us or leave. We can feel crushed by anger, and isolated in resentment. Friends may fail to listen or understand. Others rush to give advice - which only makes things worse. We want to believe in peace. But we just can't find the way. Meditation feels impossible.
This series is about finding peace at the times we need it most. Humility, acceptance, and kindness will pervade each class. We will learn meditations, and mindfulness practices that can help us make meaning from our experience and to grieve. Join with others as we find strength together, and compassionate wisdom from the Buddhist path to Enlightenment.
• October 19: Being with anger
Anger is trying to tell us something. Let's hear what it has to say.
• October 26: Appreciating a broken heart
Shantideva said that suffering has good qualities. Let's get real about resilience.
• November 2: Knives out - re-imagining the people who hurt us
Geshe Langri Tangpa said of the people who hurt us: "may I see them as my holy spiritual guide." Let's explore what those words might actually mean for us.
• November 9: Learning to love again
We grieve because we care about what or who we lost. How can we find our way back to caring again?
• November 16: Healing ourselves, together
We are not alone. Positive, nurturing relationships and communities can help us to find meaning and joy.
