Keeping Good Relationships
with visiting teacher Gen Sangden
$30
Schedule:
1:30-2:45pm
3:15-4:30pm
When we disagree with loved ones, whether it’s about politics, parenting, money or work, good listening helps us to understand one another. In this series, we’ll learn methods for maintaining harmonious relationships even though we may disagree passionately with others. We’ll learn how to disagree without tearing each other down by purposefully developing a mind of respect, restraint, love and compassion.
We may be surprised how our relationships can transform when we genuinely accept others, put ourselves in their shoes, find common ground, and learn to release the tight grasp we have on our own views and opinions. Buddha’s teachings on equalizing and exchanging self with others are especially applicable if we are truly interested in keeping good relationships.
