Special Opening Ceremony and Weekend Course

The Four Noble Truths

With everyone in our world today experiencing so much unhappiness and confusion Buddha’s ancient yet timeless message is more urgent and relevant than ever before. The essence of this wisdom is encapsulated in his famous Four Noble Truths.

In the Sutra of the First Wheel of Dharma Buddha said:

You should know sufferings.
You should abandon origins.
You should attain cessations.
You should practise the path.

These four statements are called ‘noble truths’ because they are superior and non-deceptive instructions for solving all human problems permanently.

Everybody without exception needs to heed this special wisdom, Buddhist or non-Buddhist.

On this special weekend, the first teachings offered in the newly constructed Meditation Hall at Tara International Kadampa Retreat Centre, Gen la Kelsang Khyenrab will give a practical guide on how we can take Buddha’s message deep into our hearts and in this way begin to heal our world and solve all daily human problems permanently.

Everybody is welcome to join for all or part of this course.
