This week’s theme: Introduction To Buddhist Psychology

Quote: “What Am I Doing In Here”

The Four Noble Truths are a foundational practice that supports our ability to navigate the inevitable changes life presents. They offer insight and guidance.
Mindfulness fosters compassion and paves the way for a deep dive into Buddhist Psychology.
You will gain a better understanding, a reason for, and an application in everyday life of the practices that the Buddha taught.
