Online: When Love Fails
with Bodhipaksa
Saturday, September 28th, 2024 | 9:30am – 1:00pm ET
We all have problems with anger, resentment, and even hatred and contempt. Some of those emotions may have even become more entrenched in us during this election season. The usual Buddhist prescription for addressing these various forms of ill will is to do lovingkindness, or metta, meditation. But you’re probably already doing that! We can find that even years of diligent practice still leave us with a residue of negativity that stubbornly refuses to shift.
Fortunately, the Buddhist tradition offers us reflections and meditation practices designed to outwit and uproot our aversive tendencies. These are practices to which we can turn when our capacity for kindness reaches its limits. They involve looking more deeply into how our minds work, and at what it is to be human.
Join meditation teacher Bodhipaksa for a half-day workshop about learning how we can find our way back to a loving state when it seems that love has failed.
