The Path of Love and Compassion
Buddha’s Ultimate Wish for us All
This class is offered in person only
$10 per class, free for supporting members
Buddha gave transformative teachings on how to achieve a mind that is not only happy all the time, but is also deeply compassionate. In essence: it’s good for you and it’s good for everyone else as well. In this series of classes we will look at these teachings on love and compassion and explore practical easy ways of becoming familiar enough with them that we can begin to integrate them into our everyday experience.
