3-day Non-Residential Course Led by Venerable Thubten Khadro
Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and manage one’s own emotions.
This course will introduce students to the Buddhist approach to Emotional Intelligence by offering tools such as meditation, empathy and self awareness techniques to enhance one’s capacity to control one’s own emotions, particularly the disturbing ones.
As a result, emotional intelligence can bring inner happiness and be the key for the success of personal, professional and interpersonal relationships.

Tushita’s Donation Policy
Tushita Meditation Centre operates entirely on the basis of donations, most of which come from people attending our courses and retreats. We will ask you to please give your full donation for the course in our reception office in the days before the course starts, payable in Indian Rupees only (unfortunately we cannot accept Foreign Currency, Travellers Cheques or Credit / Debit Cards).
For example, the minimum amount that Tushita needs to cover our costs on one day courses is 500 Indian Rupees per person. This includes lunch and afternoon tea on this day. It does not include any other meals or accommodation, since it will be a non-residential course. Of course, extra donations to help Tushita are always welcome!

Accommodation Options
Since this is a Non-Residential course, it will not be possible to stay here at Tushita. There are many guest houses and hotels nearby however, varied enough to meet all comfort levels and budgets. You can see more information here.
What to Bring
-Warm clothing which can be worn in layers and a shawl/blanket for using in the meditation hall are advisable. Bear in mind that we are at a slightly higher altitude than in McLeod Ganj, it is noticeably colder here.
-You are welcome to take notes during the course, so you may find a notebook, pen etc useful.
-It is handy to have your own water bottle. Filtered water is available in our dining hall and out of concern for the environment, we strongly discourage students from buying water in plastic bottles.
-An umbrella or rainwear, depending on the weather that day.
-Our library sells books and other items, so you may want to bring some extra money with you. It may also be possible to borrow books, see more by clicking here.
-Please DO NOT bring: any musical instruments, camera, radios/tape/CD/MP3 players or mobile phones as you will be asked not to use them while you are here.
