Welcome to our beginner’s class designed for individuals who are curious about the teachings of the Buddha and wish to explore the foundational aspects of Buddhism. These classes are available in person or online.
This class serves as an introduction to the essential principles of Buddhist practice, which are primarily rooted in the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. We will explore the idea of cause and effect, often referred to in Buddhist teachings as karma, and how our actions can shape our present and future experiences. We will also discuss the concept of rebirth, which emphasises the continuity of life and the significance of our choices in this lifetime.
Additionally, we will reflect on the preciousness of human life and the opportunities it offers for spiritual growth and development. We will discuss the importance of cultivating virtue in our daily lives, as this is essential for personal transformation and contributing positively to the world around us.
This class is designed as a drop-in session, meaning that you can join us at any time without prior commitment. We warmly welcome everyone, from complete novices to those with some background in Buddhism.
To enhance your understanding of the topics that Caron will cover in this class, we recommend the following reading: Unveiling Your Sacred Truth: Book 1
This book provides valuable insights and serves as a supplementary resource for our discussions. We look forward to embarking on this enlightening journey together!
