Practical Buddhism Series
Miserliness and Belligerence

with Don Isaacson

Thursdays, 7:00pm–8:30pm
​July 6–August 3, 2017

no class on July 13
Join us for this experiential series exploring the afflictions that disturb our contentment and their remedies to develop a sense of well-being.

The Buddha taught that afflictions such as pride, anger, and attachment are not inherent in our nature. As such, these afflictions can be removed and our true nature—which was merely obscured by these habitual misunderstandings—can be revealed so all can reap its benefits.

This particular module will focus on miserliness and belligerence.
​Have you studied the Dharma or completed the Discovering Buddhism Programs?  Ready to take the next step to integrate your learnings into experience?

The "Practical Buddhism" series explores how we can integrate Buddhist teachings into our every day lives as well as support a daily practice.

In a typical class we will have teachings, meditations, and discussions.  We will focus on a particular topic for a few weeks.

​Drop by anytime — there is no need to have taken prior classes in this series.
