with Venerable Drolma
June 14 – 24, 2021
(Plus Bonus Day for Sponsors on June 25)
No classes on Saturday & Sunday
This is an intermediate course, suitable for students who have attended one of our 10-day Introduction to Buddhism courses or have taken the full online program, The Buddhist Path of Training the Mind and Going Deeper: The Buddhist Path of Training the Mind.
My concern is that if we allow ourselves to be anxious and afraid, emotionally disturbed, we’ll only produce more confusion within ourselves. When we’re confused, we spread confused energy to others and the environment. Bringing peace to the world is no small task. Even though you’re concerned, occasionally fearful, your fear does not come from an underlying, ever-present, emotional disturbance. – Lama Yeshe
Healing and Transforming Emotions is a course about how best to manage those times when our emotions are overwhelming. At these times it can seem like our minds are completely out of our control and we are left to suffer the disturbance without any relief. In this course we will be learning techniques for intervening when we have strong feelings as well as ways to prevent those states from arising again in the future. The view of the course is that emotions are positive aspects of our lives, but when they get out of control, what can we do?
