Dealing
With Emotions by Venerable Rita Riniker - 2 DVD set $45.20 = Total Donation to invite the 2 DVD set to your home Venerable Rita Riniker gave this teaching, “Dealing with Emotions” on June 28 & July 5, 2006 at Land of Medicine Buddha. These lectures introduce key Buddhist concepts and meditative techniques in the experiential context of learning about our minds and working specifically to deal with anger, attachment and jealousy. “Do we control our emotions, or do they control us? Who is the controller, and who is being controlled? What went wrong with our mental make up? Why is it so difficult not to hate the ones we love? Why aren’t we just simply happy? Do you think and feel like that sometimes?… By understanding our minds and our emotions, we gain so much more wisdom and freedom in our lives. We can begin to control them rather than being controlled by them, and we can start to let go of the pain they cause ourselves and others and instead increase our understanding and kindness.” |
