Curse of Conflict. A Workshop to Resolve. Saturday 1 February. Online

Offered on a donation basis

We live in a world beset with conflict with ourselves, with others, with authority figures and those we have influence over.

Conflict will not go away by wanting it to go away.

Our conflicts, inner or with others, ends when we address the causes/conditions of conflict. Arguments and tension feed conflict and the stress and anger that goes with it.

In this worskhop. we will draw upon the wisdom of the Buddha. The discourse refers to triggers to conflict ranging from problematic views to war. We can get into a conflict through what we say. write and communicate.

The Buddha on What leads to non-conflict

1. Not to pursue pleasure that is vulgar, coarse, ignoble and unbeneficial. It is beset with suffering, vexation and despair.

2. Not to engage in blame/aggression, internally or externally. It is also vulgar, coarse, painful, ignoble and unbeneficial.

3. Not to praise oneself and put down others for their failures.

4. Instead of claiming that those who pursue vulgar pleasures or engage in blame/aggression, are on the ‘wrong path,’ one explains that such pursuits are “beset with suffering.”

Middle Length Discourses. Sutta 139: Discourse on the Exposition of Non-Conflict

In this profound discourse, the Budha’s teachings point out conflict produces “suffering, despair and fever.”
