[MCN] Making Kindness Your Religion: Public Talks w/ Don Handrick

[Osel Shen Phen Ling]

Hello Missoulians,

The Osel Shen Phen Ling community invite you to our last two opportunities
with our wonderful visiting teacher Don Handrick! Don will follow up his
excellent weekend workshop Finding Calm in the Storm with two public talks
this Tuesday and Wednesday.


*Making Kindness Your Religion, Tues., May 7, 7pm - 8:30pm*

“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.” This beloved quote
from His Holiness the Dalai Lama shows the basic philosophy of Buddhism and
the shared practice of kindness essential to all faiths. Don will help us
explore the practices of living with loving kindness and examine ways to
overcome attitudes that keep our hearts from opening fully.

*Joy Trumps Fear, Wed., May 8, 7pm - 8:30pm*

Fear can lead to anxiety, anger and paralysis, making us unable to react
constructively to the sources of that fear. With a joyful attitude we
confront and overcome fear to find inner peace, allowing us to navigate our
modern world more skillfully. Join us as Don helps us investigate the
methods to cultivate and deepen true joy in our daily lives to triumph over
fear.
