Responding Skillfully to Conflict - The Four Siddhis

We often cower in the face of conflict or overreact with anger. Buddha emphasized the need for skillful and beneficial action in all circumstances, and taught four special approaches to dealing with conflict and difficulties, known as the four siddhis, or attainments. In this class we will learn about these four types of enlightened action and receive practical advice for incorporating them into our daily life.

May 1                 Anger and Unskilled Action
May 8                 Patience and Skillful Actions
May 15               The Power of Peace - the pacifying siddhi
May  22              Nurturing the Positive - the increasing siddhi
May 29               Strong Mind, Strong Action - the controlling siddhi
June 5                Fierce Compassion - the wrathful siddhi
