While journeying on each of our personal paths, it is often a challenge to frame our views and values in coherent and easy to understand ways. These events will offer you a warm, inclusive space, to explore the way in which Buddhist philosophy is framed, at its most basic level.

In Buddhism, the Four Noble Truths serve as the Buddha’s clearest statement of the human condition. They are, in turn:
First Noble Truth — There is suffering
Second Noble Truth — suffering has a cause: craving rooted in ignorance
Third Noble Truth — The cessation of suffering is possible
Fourth Noble Truth — There is a path that leads to the end of suffering

In our second meeting, we will be guided by venerable Dechen in learning about the Third and Fourth Noble Truths.

 The Third Noble Truth is the truth of unsattisfactoriness having an ending, the real possibility of unloading ourselves of unwise burdens and of developing a genuine awakening of the heart.
 The Fourth Noble Truth is the Eightfold Path towards awakening: not as merely religious instruction, but as a practical way of living that can be woven into the fabric of ordinary life.
