ALL WELCOME
The Four Noble Truths is the very first teaching the Buddha gave after he became Enlightened over 2 and a half thousand years ago…The truths are:
The truth of suffering
The truth of the cause of suffering
The truth of the end of suffering
The truth of the path that frees us from suffering
These teachings are still applicable to today, and are open to everyone. You do not have to be a Buddhist to benefit from this life advice.
Geshe-la will teach in Tibetan and his teachings will be translated from Tibetan into English by Anton Weiersmuller.
