Buddha's Core Teachings: Keys to Freedom of the Heart (1 of 6)

Tuesday, Sep 19, 04:15 PM - 06:00 PM (Every week on Tuesday for 6 times) in Online > Secure Zoom 2

The Buddha's teachings offer the radical potential to end suffering in our lives. He taught a path to abandon painful and afflictive states and cultivate those that lead to the deepest freedom possible in this human life.

In this course, we’ll explore three of the Buddha’s major teachings to free the mind and open the heart:

  • The Four Noble Truths—the Buddha’s teachings on suffering and the end of suffering

  • The Four Foundations of Mindfulness—the direct path to liberation

  • The Brahma Viharas/divine abodes—the heart practices of loving-kindness, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity that embody the commitment to kindness and care towards all beings.

In this six-week course, we’ll investigate each of these central teachings, how they relate with each other—and how, when wisely cultivated, they lead to the deepest well-being and freedom.

Each session will include a period of guided meditation; a talk on the teachings; sharing in small groups and full group; opportunity for questions/sharing.

Recordings of the class sessions will be made available to participants, along with resources, suggested readings, talks, slides, and at-home practices.
