Wednesday Lunchtime Meditation–Letting Go of Anger and Resentment

Meditation classes for everyone with Kadampa Buddhist teacher Nancy Fox.

“You should know sufferings. You should abandon origins. You should attain cessations. You should practice the path.” –Buddha, Sutra of the Four Noble Truths

Do you ever feel like you just want to be happy, but the harder you try to get certain things, the more unhappy you become? Usually, there’s a tendency to blame other people or external situations for one’s suffering and problems, but if you let go of the distractions and negativities in your own mind, external influences will have less and less power to make you unhappy.

These introductory classes will help to see the underlying causes of mental pain and dissatisfaction, then take a solution-oriented approach to letting go of the bad mental habits that keep one stuck. Start at the beginning of the series if you can, but if you miss the beginning then start when you are able.
