Dealing with Anger
Treasure Valley Dharma Friends is pleased to present
Lama Jhampa Shaneman
September 15 to 22, 2011
The Buddha taught how to counteract anger not by subduing external situations but by working with the mind. Anger disturbs our own and others peace and leads to suffering. It does not bring good resolutions to problems. We may see anger as a protector but it only leads to suffering.
Using the teachings of classical Buddhist texts Jhampa Shaneman will explore ways to help counteract and abandon anger including meditation techniques.
Where would I possibly find enough leather
With which to cover the surface of the earth?
But wearing leather just on the soles of my shoes
Is equivalent to covering the earth with it.
Likewise it is not possible for me
To restrain the external course of things;
But should I restrain this mind of mine
What would be the need to restrain all else?
