DESCRIPTION:Online: What is Nirvana? \nwith Tuere Sala \nSaturday\, April 24th 2021 | 9:00am – 4:00pm ET \nHave you ever wondered\, “What is nirvana?” Is it something concrete or some elusive concept about the afterlife? Is nirvana\, sometimes called awakening\, even possible? Is it just about belief or is it real\, something to be experienced in the here and now? These questions and more have been swirling around Dhamma practice since the time of the Buddha. Buddha has described nirvana as the cooling of fire\, the quenching of thirst\, a release\, escape. It is pointed to in the 3rd Noble Truth and is attained by cultivating the Eightfold Path. All of which implies an experience here and now. \nDuring this daylong\, we will explore this nirvana by looking deeper at the 3rd Noble Truth. We will look at why it is so important in today’s urban world to practice towards awakening. \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.
