Tenzin Legtsok Tuesdays, 7:00pm – 9:00pm April 12 – May 17, 2022 Shakyamuni Buddha’s most revolutionary assertion was that all of our suffering experiences arise from one fundamental misapprehension about how things exist and that it is possible to utterly eliminate this misconception by cultivating wisdom. We innately grasp at ourselves and all things as existing on their own, primarily cut off and separate from one another and from the conscious experience of them. The purpose of all Buddha’s teachings is to show us that nothing exists in this way, and to lead us to develop the right view that all things are interdependently arising phenomena. The most fundamental truth about all things is that they are interdependent and thereby empty of a solitary disconnected self. In this module, we will begin to develop this wisdom which is key to unraveling the web of suffering and finding true happiness.
