Live-Streaming Buddhist Retreat: The True Nature of Self, Saturday, October 10th, 10:00am 3:15pm. The object that we most grasp at is our self. We experience deep suffering when this self is criticized, judged or unhappy in any way. Buddha taught that we are actually very confused when it comes to understanding how this self actually exists and because of that confusion, we stay stuck in unhappiness. In this day retreat, we will explore the nature of the self and engage in practical meditations to help increase our wisdom and live our life more joyfully. Everyone is welcome. Cost: $25. Course will remain available online for 48 hours after class for those who pre-register and cant attend live.
