Overcoming Depression - Enhancing Self-Esteem & Self-Confidence from a Buddhist Perspective February 25, 2012

Our mind has tremendous power both to heal and to harm. When the
destructive power of the mind is unleashed against oneself we can
damage our sense of self-worth and experience feelings of inadequacy
and self-loathing. Many people are hard on themselves in a way that is
counter-productive and painful. However, through skillful analysis and
meditation, we can gradually learn to identify these unhelpful thought
patterns, feel empowered to accept our shortcomings, and transform our
self into the confident, happy person we wish to be. This course will
be based on time-honored Buddhist principles, especially emphasizing
patient acceptance, loving-kindness, identifying with our potential, and
the wisdom realizing emptiness.

Taught by Gen Kelsang Rigpa, American Buddhist monk and Resident Teacher at KMC CA.

Cost: $25 includes a delicious vegetarian lunch.
