Free lecture: "Toward an End to Suffering."

Sunday, November 24, 6-7 PM
Mark Henderson on "Toward an End to Suffering."

O monks, when the Tathagata became a perfect
Buddha, the darkness and the shadows disappeared… The character of all
beings was known, the conduct of all beings was understood. The remedy
from the sickness of the world was well understood… The Voice of the
Buddha
.

During the night of the enlightenment, the
Buddha perceived how individuals are propelled by the force of their
actions to repeat patterns that bind them to endless cycles of birth and
death. Perceiving the full extent of suffering and its manifestations,
the Buddha further understood the cause of suffering, how suffering can
be brought to an end, and the way to its cessation. Known as the “Four
Noble Truths,” this teaching is central to all Buddhist practice. In
this talk, Nyingma Instructor Mark Henderson will introduce the Noble
Truths.
