Finding Freedom from Frustration: The Practice of Patience

TIME: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

COST: $35 (free for Silver and Gold benefactors)

When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind.  If we responded to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us.  Eventually, we might even regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development.  In this course we will learn the time-tested methods taught by Buddha for improving our patience, and how to practically apply those methods to our daily life.  Come learn how the practice of patience can bring peace and harmony to your life and your relationships.
