| MODULE II: Revisiting The 4 Noble Truths |
|
|
|
|
This series will examine and elucidate the first teaching given by the historical Buddha some 2500 years ago, often described as "the Four Noble Truths." This seminal teaching outlines and clarifies:
(1) the problem of ordinary experience, i.e. suffering of various types;
(2) the root cause of the problem, i.e. ignorance;
(3) the "solution" to, or cessation of, the problem, i.e. enlightenment; and
(4) the methods for achieving that solution, i.e. the famous eightfold path
of Buddhist practice. The classes will afford ample opportunity for questions and discussion, and will include some simple meditation exercises.
