Online: The Four Noble Truths
with Elaine Retholtz
Mondays, September 12th, 19th, October 3rd, 17th, 2022 | 9:30am – 11:30am ET
Please note, this course will not meet on Monday, September 26th due to Rosh Hashanah and Monday, October 10th for Indigenous People’s Day)
We often hear of the Four Noble Truths when we are first introduced to the Buddha’s teachings. Some of us continue to learn, study and remember these teachings … but how many of us take the time to truly investigate the meanings and implication of the teachings in our own lives with the aspiration that we embody our understanding?
Come join in this investigation as we continue to learn more about the Buddha’s core, foundational teaching and as we deepen our understanding and learn ways to investigate and apply this teaching within our own lives.
Each class will include practice, instruction and talks, as well as group dialogue and inquiry. There will be ongoing practice assignments each week.
Join Elaine Retholtz on Mondays, October 24th – December 12th, 2022 for a related online course on the Buddha’s teachings on The Eightfold Path. Click here for more info and registration.
