Sacred Space Workshop
2022-05-14 16:30 - 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Mahakankala Kadampa Buddhist Center, 1825 State Street Suite 202, Santa Barbara, CA, 93101, United States
Success in study and meditation depends upon creating the right inner conditions, specifically receiving inspiring blessings, purifying negative karma, and accumulating meritorious energy.
We achieve these through supporting practices such as relying upon a qualified Spiritual Guide, making offerings, and reciting prayers. In this afternoon workshop, we will learn how to create a space in our own home or workspace for these practices. In particular we will learn about the practice of making offerings and how to set up a shrine.
This workshop will be led by our Resident Teacher, Kadam Keli Vaughan, and will include prayers and guided meditation to begin and conclude.

Buddhist Meditation to Reduce our Reliance on Anger

Is anger ever justified?
Does anger defeat enemies or create them?
Are you really in control when you are angry?
Buddha taught that of all the delusions, anger is the most harmful — yet so much of our modern society honors and even encourages it.
In this morning workshop we can be inspired to see for ourselves the deep extent to which anger controls our minds and our lives. Learn how anger is the source of so much of our suffering, and how we can start using the practice of meditation to reduce our reliance on anger, and eventually eradicate it from our minds altogether.
