Meditate In Calgary

🤬 ➡️ 🧘‍♂️ Why Anger Doesn’t Work! Let’s be honest—anger, irritation, and frustration are powerful emotions, but they usually leave us feeling drained and completely destroy our inner peace. The good news? We can actually discover the root causes of our anger and learn how to prevent it from taking over.

Join us this Saturday for a transformative short course with our Resident Teacher, Gen Khacho. You’ll learn practical wisdom and meditation techniques to build inner resilience, handle life’s challenges constructively, and move forward with calm.

🗓️ When: Saturday, May 30 | 10:00 am – 1:00 pm MDT
📍 Where: Akshobya Kadampa Buddhist Centre (2120 Kensington Road NW, Calgary)
💰 Cost: $24 General Admission ($12 for supporting members)

Everyone is welcome! Take a step toward a more peaceful mind and grab your spot today.
