This approach will be based on there are two kinds of suffering –one, primary, that is inevitable and the other secondary one that is our reactive mind that can make everything much worse.
Pain x resistance =suffering or stress.

Our most valuable ally in dealing with stress is compassion. Tibetan culture offers a wealth of relaxation and visualisation methods to help us deal with stress and be at ease with everything that arises in our lives. We have wisdom and compassion already but we need to learn compassion and self-compassion methods in order to access our basic humanity.

This weekend will also be an opportunity also to give ourselves much needed space and time to heal and relax in the environment of Samye ling.

There is no fee for this course although donations are welcome. Your offering will help with the Monastery's considerable running costs, as well as the expenses incurred in inviting teachers.  Donations may be made in the Reception Office.
