Improving Relationships
A Saturday Half-day Course
with Buddhist monk & Teacher
Gen Kelsang Thekchen
May 10, from 10am to 1pm
at The Lantern, Lamaline Room, 35 Barnes Rd., St. John’s
This Mother’s day weekend treat yourself to a special half day course on how to improve your relationships with friends, family and co-workers by developing the three types of love, affectionate love, cherishing love and wishing love both in meditation and in daily life. Learn how to overcome hurtful feelings, strengthen patient acceptance and see every relationship we have as an opportunity for spiritual growth. Gen Thekchen will also introduce a special meditation that allows us to step into the shoes of another person and empathize with them, seeing the situation from the other person’s perspective. This meditation technique allows us to be more compassionate, understanding and patient with others, especially those that we find difficult.

As conscientious Dharma practitioners, we should observe our own shortcomings instead of being preoccupied with those of other people.
