The Cultivation of Knowledge: A Half-Day on Understanding and Releasing Dukkha
Sat, July 23, 9am-12pm
A Sati Center event at IMC in Redwood City, CA
The heart of Buddhist practice involves understanding and releasing dukkha (suffering or unsatisfactoriness). These are not static ideas to learn, but active knowledges to cultivate. When we set out to understand dukkha, that understanding begins one way, then changes as we mature in practice. The same is true for the task of letting go of dukkha.
In this half-day session, we will explore how our understanding and release of suffering develop through the course of cultivating the path to liberation. We will approach the topic through sutta study, meditation, teaching, and small and large-group discussion.
You are welcome to bring a bag lunch to eat outside with the group afterward.
Covid requirements:
Registration coming soon!
