If you're interested in the Buddha's wisdom but you're not sure how to apply it to modern life, this course is for you! I'll walk you through Buddhist basic teachings, as expressed in the Four Noble Truths: We can never get exactly what we want in life and then keep it. That's because we misunderstand reality. But the good news is that we can end that dissatisfaction and find lasting bliss. All we have to do is follow the profound teachings laid out in the Buddha's teachings (and other great spiritual traditions).
You don't need to be Buddhist to understand these truths and put them into practice. Most of the foundational ideas in this system (like impermanence) can be tested in our daily life. And the best part of the Buddhist tradition is that it offers ways to bring these ideas into daily life through meditation and reflection exercises.
When you enroll in this course, you'll get a guided meditation to go with each of the Four Noble Truths, plus guided reflection exercises to help you bring these teachings into daily life.
If you're ready to take your mindfulness practice to a deeper level or looking for a simple introduction to one of the world's great traditions, why wait? Enroll today!
