PEOPLE: AND HOW TO GET ON WITH THEM
A 4 WEEK SERIES WITH GEN KELSANG WANGMO
LEITH | APR 9, 16, 23, 30 | TUESDAYS 7-8.30PM
Do you ever have those days where it seems everybody else has got out of bed with the sole purpose of annoying you? Or where particular people seem intent on pushing your buttons? We all have those days and we all have those people: some who are deliberately hurtful or obstructive, others who just seem blind to our feelings. We may be very fortunate in our relationships or know how to navigate our way with a skilful mind. Maybe not. But don’t despair. Meditation gives us that skilful mind. Meditation makes us fortunate.
Gen Wangmo will help us to identify and develop special attitudes and mental skills which protect us from being upset, irritated or hurt by other people. And, as there is no way we can avoid people, these are skills we definitely need. Otherwise, we can only resort to anger, retaliation, withdrawal or hardening our heart.
So, let’s learn how to improve all our relationships, to withstand the pressure and become a happy and skilful “people person”. Let’s learn how to make others feel better for having met us.
Fee: £10 per class | £30 full 4 week course | members free

MEDITATION FOR BUSY PEOPLE
ADVICE FOR LIFE
A 3 WEEK SERIES WITH GEN KELSANG WANGMO
LEITH | MAY 7, 14, 21 | TUESDAYS 7-8.30PM
We do not always have the time, strength or inclination to maintain a formal meditation practice on a daily basis. But does that mean we have to miss out on the great benefits meditation brings to our life? With the help of Modern Buddhism, the answer to this question is definitely no!
We can experience inner peace and improve our human nature and qualities through developing the capacity of our mind. By incorporating the mental skills and wisdom-based practices taught in this course into our daily life – whilst at work, at home, in the car etc. we will discover that meditation can be every activity, bringing peace and a positive perspective to the seemingly mundane and resilience and compassion to the difficulties that come our way.
Join our Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Wangmo for this three-week course and learn three special practices which will give you the power you need to transform your life.
With teachings, guided meditations, discussion and Q&A. No experience necessary, everybody welcome!
Fee: £10 per class | £20 full 3 week course | members free
Includes light refreshments after class
Venue: Kadampa Meditation Centre Edinburgh, 172 Leith Walk, EH6 5EA
