Anger: A Cry for Help
How to Resolve Inner and Outer Conflicts Creatively
through the Practice of Meditation
Saturday ~ Feb 4
9:30am-1:00pm
With Resident Teacher
Holly McGregor
When we’re angry, it’s often because there is something important that needs to be said, or something that needs to change. If we lack the confidence and skill to think, speak and act in a centered, powerful way, we get angry, and can then end up regretting what we’ve said or done.
Anger distorts our view and can disrupt our health, our happiness and especially our relationships. Through contemplation and meditation, we can learn to listen in a deeper way to ourselves and others. We can discover the inner problem or conflict that is asking to be resolved, that anger is trying to get us to pay attention to. Then we can take appropriate action, from a calm, centered place in our heart.

Love Without Pain
Is it really possible? According to Buddha, most definitely! We can recognize the difference between love and attachment, and we can begin to let go of struggle and disappointment in our partnerships and friendships with others. We can begin to experience a pure love that enriches and empowers us, our partners and our relationships. All are welcome!
Nestled in the heart of Huntington Village on the North Shore of Long Island, Dipamkara Center provides a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Residents of Long Island are always welcome to use the meditation room, or browse our beautiful bookstore and library while enjoying a cup of tea and friendly conversation.
