Transforming Destructive Emotions

Buddhist Philosophy Class presented by Benefitting Beings Through Wisdom

Unfortunately we are controlled by our dysfunctional states of mind. In order to get some control over them we need to understand how they operate. Then we can have some opportunity of intervening. Buddhism presents ways of unpacking these states of mind so that we become less reactive and instead have informed responses. We have short breaks in between sessions and usually go to lunch together. Please bring a notebook and pen look forward to seeing you! - Alan
