October 8 – 10 2010, Friday 6 p.m. until Sunday 11 a.m.We all struggle to find meaning and joy amidst the ever-changing challenges of life. Whatever your religious orientation, the Buddha's teaching of the Four Noble Truths offers you insight into how to experience what is difficult in your life without being filled with stress and anguish. The Four Noble Truths is not just a philosophical statement, it is a progressive "practice" that yields practical benefits in your life. In this retreat for both beginning and advanced students, we will learn how mindfulness meditation can help integrate the insights of the Four Noble Truths into your daily life.
