The Four Noble Truths -Freedom Through Understanding

An Introduction to Buddhism and Meditation
Thursdays, March 5 to 26 (4 weeks)
7:00pm to 9:00pm

In a world that often feels overwhelming, finding inner peace can seem difficult. This course offers a warm, inclusive space to explore the Four Noble Truths, not as religious rules, but as a practical roadmap for inner happiness. Designed for everyone, regardless of background or experience, we will look at how the Buddha's first insights can help us navigate modern stress, anxiety, and global turmoil with a clear mind and open heart.

These teachings are like a healing prescription. First, we will validate our struggles, acknowledging that dissatisfaction is a natural part of life. Then, we will dig into the root causes of our stress, often found in our own reactions and attachments, and discover the hopeful truth that lasting peace is actually possible. Finally, we will learn the "path" to that peace: a set of daily tools involving ethics, meditation, and wisdom that transform how we relate to ourselves and others.
