What's Buddhism All About?

With Western Teacher Jampa Gendun
Saturday, November 24th,  9 am - 4 pm

There is in Buddhism the abiding conviction that basically we are intelligent and caring people, but that many of the premises upon which we presently base our lives are distorted and in conflict with the way things are. This disparity between the world as it is and our beliefs about it leads us to inappropriate and unskilful ways of thinking and behaving, which form the basis for all the various frustrations, disappointments and dissatisfactions that we continually experience. In answer, Buddhism offers a penetrating analysis of the condition we find ourselves in as well as powerful and proven methods for helping us to work with our problems. The result is an increasing happiness, kindness and clarity in our lives.

“What's Buddhism All About?” provides an introduction to the essential teachings of Buddhism for the beginner wanting to know more. It covers such topics as compassion, karma and the nature of reality, and consists of talks along with meditation and discussions in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Everyone is welcome.
