Buddhist Teachings – Introductory Course
Four Week Course on Tuesdays, Nov 10 to Dec 1, 2026, 7pm to 9pm
Exploring Buddhism: A Path of Wisdom and Compassion
Buddhism offers a profound vision of human life, alongside practical teachings that can enrich the way we meet ourselves, others, and the world.
At the heart of Buddhist practice is a compassionate desire to understand suffering and cultivate greater awareness, kindness, and wisdom. Through meditation, reflection, and discussion, we’ll explore the Buddha’s core teachings and how they can illuminate our everyday experience.
This introductory course is an invitation to discover the transformative potential of Buddhism as a spiritual path.
