Anger plagues all of us. It can destroy our relationships with the people that we value the most and keep our mind bound in spirals of misery. We see people, such as the Dalai Lama, who have faced far worse circumstances than many of us, but who do not burn with anger, rage or seek revenge. How do they do it? How can we replace this emotion with patience, tolerance, love, and compassion?
If we are able to look into our own minds and hearts and understand this disturbing emotion better, we will gradually be able to distance ourselves from this painful emotion without suppressing or expressing it.
Tonight Venerable Chogkyi will talk to us about how we can do this. Please join us!

Venerable Tenzin Chogkyi first became interested in meditation after reading Be Here Now and Autobiography of a Yogi in the early '70's. In 1991 with the intention of meeting His Holiness the Dalai Lama she bought a one-way ticket to India. She then became a student not only of His Holiness, but also of Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche and Lama Zopa Rinpoche during the year she spent studying at Tushita Meditation Centre in Dharamsala and Kopan Monastery in Kathmandu.
Tenzin Chogkyi has worked at various positions within the FPMT including Director of Vajrapani Institute, Co-Director of FPMT International Office and FPMT Center Services Coordinator. She has also completed more than five years of solo meditation retreats.
She took novice ordination in 2004 with His Holiness and since 2006 she has been teaching at various FPMT centers around the globe. She is interested in hospice work and animal rescue, and helped establish the Karuna Animal Sanctuary near Dharamsala in India.
Please note, we offer these teachings free of charge, however as with all visiting teachers the Center incurs extra expense. We appreciate your support and donations!
