Dharma Monday

Cultivating emotional wisdom

Sometimes we pay a high price for caring deeply for others and the world and can lose ourselves in nihilistic despair. Emotional wisdom is the capacity to care without getting stuck in painful dead ends. It enables us to feel compassion even if we cannot directly help. And if we start going down the emotional gurgler it helps us tune into the beauty, love and strength in ourselves and others. Over five weeks we will be exploring how to become more loving, more compassionate and more emotionally flexible.

Cultivating emotional wisdom
This evening will be an introduction to the theme by Ratnavyuha. He will be talking on cultivating emotional wisdom and the different types of positive emotion: moving past indifference to caring, caring and letting go of what you cannot control and seeing the beauty in ourselves and others. We will be exploring how to care so deeply that we can open to the very heart of reality.

Dharma night is suitable for those who would like to learn more about Buddhism. It is also a popular night for regular friends to drop in and practice together. If you are a beginner but can't get to/or have just started one of our meditation classes, you are still welcome to come and join in.

The usual program for the evening is a talk on some aspect of Buddhism, tea break, then group meditation to end the evening.
