Be the Change

Saturday | January 23 | 10:00a - 3:00p (+ Q & A following)

with Gen Kelsang Khedrub, resident teacher of KMC Boston and Dirgni Rodriguez, Buddhist Teacher.

Do you often find yourself irritated? A little frustrated when things don’t go the way you want?

How much do you believe you can profoundly change this tendency?

Discover how to get rid of anger, and learn to harness the power of Patience: a wisdom that turns out to be so relevant and key in these socially distanced times with a global pandemic.

Patience is not a weak or passive mind. It is a powerful and wise mind that is stable, balanced, and able to stay calm whenever difficulties arise.

This meditation workshop will give you the tools to become more patient with situations, with other people and with yourself. From this newly found ocean of calm you can actually act in more dynamic, clear and effective ways. Truly patient people are great problem solvers.

Try a guided at-home retreat with Nini Rodriguez and Gen Khedrub.
