NEW VENUE!
Buddhist Meditation Study and Reflection Evenings
In Person and Online via Zoom
8.00pm – 9:30pm Tuesdays (in term time, please sign up to our mailing list at the bottom of this page to be kept up to date)
Topic: Dealing with Fear and Anger
This term we will be following the book,Dealing with Fear and Anger, by Ringu Tulku Rinpoche.
For most of us, expressing anger and being on the receiving end of anger are commonplace experiences. We normally don’t give too much thought to how it impacts upon others or how we ourselves are affected. Here Ringu Tulku shows how fear prompts anger and how our protective self righteousness can prevent us from recognising the suffering of someone who is consumed with anger. In a lighthearted and affecting way he describes the importance of compassion in anger-bound situations, showing simple ways we can help ourselves and others to defuse the intensity of the moment through facing situations mindfully.
It’s recommended that you purchase the book from our onsite bookshop (
https://bodhicharya.org/product/living-without-fear-and-anger/) to help you follow along and get the most out of our exploration of this teaching together.
However, you are also most welcome to join in when you can, take away what makes sense and is useful and meaningful to you and leave aside what is less so.
Other than our regular group facilitator, Cesare, we also have visiting teachers throughout the year, so please check our event page for updates, thank you.
Who is it for?
These meeting are open to all people who are new or who are familiar with Buddhism and Buddhist meditation. On the first Tuesday of the month we will spend a little more time explaining the Buddhist perspective on life and the meaning of the Refuge Prayer we begin our sessions with, but everyone is welcome at any of our meetings and you can begin anytime. The group is made up of the participants, so active engagement, questions, reflections and discussion are welcome, however, if you prefer to just sit back, listen, reflect and take it in, then that is perfectly okay too.
There are comfortable chairs and meditation cushions available and refreshments are provided.
