Dealing with difficult people (Workshop) Brisbane - 6 December 2026

Sun 6 Dec 10am - 1pm

Kadampa Meditation Centre Brisbane, Brisbane

Learn practical Buddhist mind training and meditation methods to improve challenging relationships with colleagues, clients, family members and partners. Led by Gen Ani, this workshop teaches you to understand difficult people, respond with calm and find peace whatever others do.

Why Are Some People So Hard to Deal With?

Everyone has difficult people in their life. Whether it's a colleague, client, family member or partner, other people's behaviour can seem irrational, unreasonable and hard to accept.

Difficult relationships are often stuck in:

Long-established dynamics. Patterns build up over years and become hard to change.

Habitual ways of viewing people. They just appear to be a particular way and we can’t imagine how we could see them any other way.

Not understanding the other person. When we don't know why someone acts the way they do, we find it hard to accept their behaviour.

The result is that many people feel trapped in negative reactions and unhealthy situations, unable to see how things could improve.

How Can Buddhist Meditation Help with Difficult Relationships?

Buddhist mind training and meditation offers a way to change how we see both the other person and ourselves. This shift in perspective:

Improves your relationships

Helps you understand why others behave as they do

Supports genuine inner, spiritual progress and self-improvement
