The Science of Happiness: The Four Noble Truths

Saturdays | 1:30-2:30pm | October 17 - Nov 7

Whether it’s everyday stress, sadness, or even anger, our suffering can be transformed into inner strength, love, and joy. The first step is understanding its source. In this series, we’ll explore Buddha’s teachings on the Four Noble Truths. The Four Noble Truths are the essence of Buddhist thought and gives us a clear, precise way to understand our life and how to move forward in it. Through teachings and meditation, we’ll discover that suffering comes not from external conditions, but from our own mind. Recognizing this opens the door to transforming our experience and uncovering a more lasting, genuine happiness. Everybody Welcome.
