Buddha’s 4 Big Truths: Liberation from Suffering

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every week that begins at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, repeating until February 24, 2016

Part of EBMC’s Core Buddhist Teachings – 5-month Curriculum

4 Wednesdays: February 3, 10, 17, 24, 2016

with Mushim

Why do we suffer? How can we be released from suffering? The Buddha’s first teaching after his Enlightenment is called the Four Noble Truths, which form the foundation of Buddhist life and understanding. These four “big” truths address human suffering and oppression, analyze their root causes, and describe a path of liberation from human suffering that is both profound and practical. Dharma talks, interactive exercises, journaling, meditation and optional readings. Beginners in meditation are welcome.
