Join Bhante Pannasiri from New England Buddhist Vihara, along with his colleague Jenn, who will describe the map they have created to convey the Buddhist journey toward enlightenment. “The Buddhist map serves as a visual representation of the inward journey in the practice of Buddhism. It guides practitioners to explore their inner selves and gain a deeper understanding of the true nature of existence. The teachings laid down by the Buddha provide a solid foundation for individuals to follow to alleviate suffering within themselves. By following this path, practitioners can cultivate wisdom, compassion, and inner peace, ultimately leading to liberation from the cycle of suffering.”
Come listen, learn, reflect and ask questions. No registration required.
