Take control - Gebrauchsanleitung für Emotionen

In the organizer's words:

Buddha compares us to a balloon 🎈 that has no control over itself, but is completely at the mercy of the wind.

So we are happy when our wishes are fulfilled and we achieve our goals, but saddened to death when they are thwarted and everything goes wrong. But unlike the balloon, which dances happily back and forth in the wind, we tend to lose our composure and become a danger to ourselves and others.

But why is that? Why shouldn't we be able to respond to difficulties with a positive mind and constructive solutions?

In this workshop, you will learn practical meditations from the Buddhist tradition that will give you a special inner strength to maintain your emotional balance. They can help you to accept both good and bad conditions with joy. In this way, you can learn something from everything and continue to develop in every moment. Gain control over your emotions instead of letting them control you.

The text for this course is based on the section "Meditation" from the book "How to Understand the Mind" by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

Session times: 15.30 - 16.45 and 17.15 - 18.30
