Dharma and meditation – The Four Noble Truths
The four Noble Truths were the Buddha’s first teaching, yet they never grow old. Each time we return to them, they meet us exactly where we are. Just as in the Buddha’s time, there is suffering in our lives—stress, fear, confusion —that we can do something about.
- First Noble thruth – There is dukkha, suffering
- Second Noble Truth — Dukkha has a cause: craving rooted in ignorance
- Third Noble Truth — The cessation of dukkha is possible: awakening
- Fourth Noble Truth — There is a path that leads to the end of dukkha
In this workshop In this workshop we’ll look at how we create unnecessary suffering, and how we can lessen it. The morning with include Dharma teachings, led meditation and time for discussion.
”Suffering is part of how it is on earth; it is an inherent part of the fabric of existence. And if we are lucky, it will break our heart open. That is the crack that lets the light pour through. That is the way the world cleanses itself.” — Roger Houseden
Vajradarshini, who will be guiding us this morning, is known for her down-to-earth approach to Dharma practice. She has a great love of people and her approach to leading retreats is to set up conditions where people feel at ease and able to truly be themselves, before diving deep into the Dharma. With nearly 40 years of Dharma practice behind her she draws widely on the Buddhist tradition and on contemporary art and culture, weaving them together to create engaging and enjoyable retreats.
