How to Solve Our Human Problems 13 Feb – 16 Jul inclusive
In this busy world, our experiences of happiness are fleeting and short-lived, while inner peace eludes us completely. Our negative states of mind, such as uncontrolled desire and anger, create endless problems for ourselves and others, and prevent us from fulfilling our deepest wishes. In these classes we will see how Buddha’s popular teaching on the Four Noble Truths offers a clear and simple solution, guiding us to a deep inner peace within our hearts.
