ATTAINING NIRVANA
A 4 week series on the 4 noble truths
Starting week beginning 24th November
Matlock Bath Tuesday at 7.00pm and Thursday at 11.00am
Chesterfield Tuesday at 1.30pm and Wednesday at 6.30pm
About the course
Buddha’s first teaching in this world after he showed the manner of attaining enlightenment himself, was the Sutra of the Four Noble Truths. His sole intention in doing so is to lead all beings to a state beyond sorrow, Nirvana, the experience of permanent inner peace.
Come along to this 4 week meditation series and discover the truth about suffering, where it comes from, and how we abandon it’s cause so we can’t finally find the freedom from suffering we long for.
Week 1: What we should know
Week 2: What we should abandon
Week 3: What we should practice
Week 4: What we should attain
‘Liberation cannot be attained without applying effort – just waiting and thinking that one day someone will bestow upon us permanent liberation from all problems. It is only through following the path to liberation that we will attain nirvana. The path to liberation is not an external path, but an inner path. We know that external paths lead from one place to another, whereas the path to liberation is an inner path that leads from samsara to a Pure Land.‘
