FOUR HALLMARKS OF THE BUDDHA'S TEACHINGS

All that is composite is impermanent

Everything defiled is suffering

All phenomena are empty and nonself

Nirvana is peace

Join us for Prajna Fire's second of a four part series bringing fresh encounters with the Buddha into our lived experience. (Future dates to be determined.)

This Daylong Practice Intensive will focus on meeting the Buddha through his teachings on suffering, through guided and individual practice centered on Listening, Contemplating, and Meditating as described in Lama Yeshe's recent article in Buddhadharma: The Practitioners' Guide and our online journal, Prajna Rising. 

Sessions are dynamic, with interactive discussion and guided meditation. Silence practice is observed during breaks to foster and nourish contemplation.

Preparatory readings, listenings, and practices are an integral part of the program and will be distributed to registrants via email before the Practice Intensive
