SUMMARY:Overcoming Difficult Emotions in the Midst of COVID-19...Or Any Other Time with Karuna Cayton
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to host the author of the book “The Misleading Mind”\, Karuna Cayton\, for an interactive class April 28-May 19. We will delve into modern day psychological questions that have arisen as a result of the Coronavirus but still affect us throughout our life. We will look at how emotional and psychological problems arise\, what are their causes and how can we work with them. But we will approach these questions from a Buddhist psychological approach. Since Buddhism offers a complete psychology there should be an explanation of how to deal with our emotional struggles such as anxiety\, depression\, regret and so on. While this class is not designed to actually solve these problems we can hopefully get a glimpse of how we can approach them from an Buddhist psychological perspective. Questions and discussion welcomed! \nCost: Suggested Donation $10-$20 per class\, no one turned away for lack of funds. Donate online through our website: https://www.diamondlightsac.org/donate/ or Venmo\, search “Diamond Light” \nTo join the virtual classroom\, click the link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/2247358115\nMeeting ID: 224 735 8115 \nKaruna Cayton has been a practicing Buddhist for over 45 years. From 1975-1988 he lived at Kopan Monastery working fot the late Lama Thubten Yeshe. Upon returning to the US he got his Masters in clinical psychology and has worked for over thirty years Karuna has worked as a psychotherapist (MFT31860)\, teacher\, business psychologist\, and coach to help people achieve a more balanced life. His mission is to interpret the ancient teachings of Buddhist thought into modern language and interventions…without changing the purity of these universal ideas.
