Two Tuesdays: 10/31 and 11/7 6:30pm-8:30pm
Why do problems and dissatisfaction keep occurring in our lives? The first teaching the Buddha gave after becoming enlightened were on the Four Noble Truths – where he described our human suffering perfectly: losing what we love, getting what we don’t want, aging, sickness and death.
Luckily, The Buddha also taught the path out of suffering. We may not believe this, but it is possible to end our mental disturbances, neurosis, anxiety, and suffering forever.
Join Emily Hsu as she teaches the Buddhist methods for reducing and stopping suffering. Learn how we are looking in the wrong place for happiness, and where deep, everlasting happiness, joy, and satisfaction is really found…and how to achieve it.
We will also discuss the main difficult emotions and some ways to reduce and overcome them.
This will be a Dharma talk and meditation, with an opportunity to ask questions. This class is perfect for beginners
