Freedom from Painful Emotions

Saturday 22 March 2025

10am to 1.15pm

At Heruka Kadampa Meditation Centre, Golders Green

With Kadam Ai Peng McBretney

'Just as there is room in the sky for a thunderstorm, so there is room in the vast space of our mind for a few painful feelings; and just as a storm has no power to destroy the sky, so unpleasant feelings have no power to destroy our mind. When painful feelings arise in our mind, there is no need to panic.'  Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

In this half day course, Kadam Ai Peng will explore how it is possible to stay calm and positive when things do not go our way. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and immediately wishing to escape from painful feelings, we can learn the meaning of patiently accepting them and see how this is a great way to free our mind from tension and anxiety.

This course will be based on the book 'How to Solve our Human Problems' by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso and is suitable for everyone.

You will learn how to:

  • Free your mind from negativities and find freedom from pain
  • Build inner resilience
  • Solve your daily problems through the power of patience

Kadam Ai Peng McBretney is the Resident Teacher of Duldzin Dragpa Kadampa Buddhist Centre. She has studied and practised Kadampa Buddhism for many years under the guidance of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

Everybody welcome!
