Our culture has placed great value on developing intellectual intelligence and we have certainly reached great heights of understanding and accomplishments in doing so. Yet our societies are wracked with increasing rates of anger, anxiety, depression and jealousy. Something is missing.
Over 2,600 years ago Shakyamuni Buddha became fully enlightened and came to understand the true nature of the mind, emotions and existence. Neuroscientists, Psychologists and Cognitive Therapists have all taken great interest in the Buddha’s insights to better understand their own fields.
In this evening talk Lama Choedak Rinpoche will give guidance on the importance of four powers of emotional intelligence and you will learn how better understanding them will empower you to transform the negative ones into positive and intelligent emotions!
