Four Noble Truths first half

Friends,

For the next two weeks we’ll be exploring the deep wisdom embedded in the four noble truths.

This week we’ll gather at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 21.

The four noble truths are one of the first teachings of the Buddha and at the bedrock of Buddhist understanding in all traditions. This is a good time to open into these four: the unsatisfactory nature of un-awakened life, the reason why we’re not awake or free, the possibility of freedom, and how to become free.

Knowing these four deeply is important for long-term practitioners, to keep our sight focused on what’s at the root of this path. It’s often said if we truly realized these four, we’d be freed. The four also are very important for people newer to the path, to clearly see the way ahead.

We’ll be sitting hybrid on July 21, which means will be online via Zoom, and in-person in the chapel at Northlake Unitarian Universalist Church in Kirkland.
