Transforming adverse conditions: Special day course with Gen Drolkyi
Transforming adverse conditions | Special day course with Gen Kelsang Drolkyi | Saturday 30th May 10-4pm
Transforming adverse conditions through the practice of taking and giving
Following on from the teachings given at the Kadampa Spring festival, Gen Drolkyi will explain how we can transform the problems and difficulties we experience in everyday life and further improve our love and compassion for others through the practice of taking and giving.
‘We should simply practise taking and giving with a good motivation, understanding it to be a supreme method for increasing our merit and concentration. This practice also purifies our non-virtues and delusions, especially our self-cherishing, and makes our love and compassion very strong’ – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, The New Eight steps to Happiness
