Coming up to Christmas and the New Year both anger and frustration can be a feature!

But the good news is that there are ways to deal with this.

Our Resident Teacher will be delivering this evening talk in Wi******er for those who would like some practical methods to deal with anger and frustration.

In this evening meditation talk, you’ll realise that frustration and anger are painful emotions that are as destructive to yourself as they are to others.

Once you understand what triggers anger and the damage it causes, you can use meditation to gradually free yourself from these painful feelings.

Despite the energy that often accompanies anger, its uncontrolled nature only causes pain, unhappiness and harm to yourself and others.

You’ll discover:

• Why you get frustrated and angry
• How to use meditation to free yourself from frustration and anger
• How to remain calm and happy when things go wrong.

A few highlights from our recent night out at Mint Dosa Indian restaurant in Southampton.

The gift opening moment!

Thanks to all who made such a fun secret Santa evening and to Ben for handing them out at random.

Interestingly out of all the gifts in the bag, there was one Buddhist item, an image of the Buddha which randomly landed with Resident Teacher Gen Lekma!

Thanks to all for a brilliant evening.
