Witnessing the suffering of our loved ones can be one of life’s greatest challenges. In Kadampa Buddhism, we learn that by transforming our minds, we can find peace even in the most difficult moments. This meditation day event will explore the profound ancient healing practice known as ‘Taking and Giving’, which will allow you to develop inner strength and compassionate wisdom to stay strong in the face of adversity.
Learn how to stay peaceful, balanced, and supportive while helping others through their pain. KMC Kent’s principal teacher, James Baskerville will guide meditations through which you’ll discover how to transform your empathy into a source of peace, rather than suffering, for yourself and others.
Afternoon session will include Q&A, and a concluding meditation.
Vegetarian lunch and refreshments included.
