The Four Foundations: Mindfulness and Liberation with John Blackburn
February 7, 2017 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
How can we find ease, peace and emotional stability in the midst of daily life? In The Four Foundations of Mindfulness, the Buddha gives very clear instructions. He calls this the direct path for overcoming grief and sorrow, for ending suffering and anxiety, for realizing nirvana. This class offers an overview of this teaching and introduces specific practices that take us deeper into an understanding of Mindfulness as the path to liberation.
Due to the progressive nature of this series, attending the first class is imperative. If you cannot attend the first session, please wait and attend the next time this series is offered.
