Online: Mindfulness and the Four Noble Truths
with Dave Smith
Thursday, April 6th, 2023 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm ET
Within the entire cosmos of Buddhist doctrine, across the many forms of lineages and traditions no single teaching carries as much weight as that of the four noble truths. It is the most fundamental aspect of Dharma. As Buddhist practices continue to take root in American society and culture much of the conversation and attention has been given to meditation practice and in particular, mindfulness.
While this has certainly made a positive impact, how can we bring the teachings of the four noble truths into our practice and cultivation of mindfulness? How are these ideas related? How do we practice the four noble truths? How can we bring these ideas into the everyday moments of our lives?
During this evening Dave Smith will outline a framework and a set of practices that will bring these ideas to life. Together, we will discuss ways of integrating the time-tested and transformative aspects of these teachings.
This event is appropriate for anyone interested in the topic, regardless of previous meditative experience.
