Dealing with Anger, Attachment and Craving

A once-a-month series about how meditation opens the path to overcome our deepest suffering. To register or learn more visit: meditationintexas.org. You do not need to register through Meetup. Anger and attachment are two very dangerous minds. Allowing this pair of deluded minds to arise into our conscious mind results in immense harm to others (anger) and ourselves (attachment). When anger and attachment mix, they create the conditions for an even greater danger lurking in the shadows: addiction. It should be no surprise, then, that engaging in behavior that arises from a mind captured by the strong delusion of addiction brings harm to ourselves and others. In this series, we will discuss aspects of the mind and learn meditations which will help us learn to develop peaceful, virtuous minds that begin to arise naturally and spontaneously no matter what situation we are experiencing. With each session, we learn more about how the mind works and how to meditate to cultivate minds that naturally oppose anger and attachment. We will also learn about the dangers of engaging in anger and attachment and discuss the benefits gained by meditating on virtuous minds that will block the harmful delusions from arising in our minds in the first place. Everyone is welcome to attend this series whether you have been meditating for a long time or are brand new to meditation.
