June 2023 – How to Solve our Human Problems: The Four Noble Truths
“You should know sufferings. You should abandon origins. You should attain cessations. You should practice the path.”
– Buddha, Sutra of the Four Noble Truths
We all want to be happy, but sometimes the harder we try to get certain things, the more unhappy we become! Usually, we tend to blame external situations or other people for our suffering and problems, but if we let go of the distractions and negativities in our own mind, external influences will have less and less power to make us miserable. These classes will help us to see the underlying causes of our mental pain and dissatisfaction, then take a solution-oriented approach to letting go of the bad mental habits that keep us stuck.
