How to end suffering is the original teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha. In this Practice Course, we will explore how his teaching can come alive in our own contemporary daily lives.
This course is the second in a 4-part series covering the basic teachings with which Buddhism answers our inmost request: transformation, liberation from suffering, wisdom, and compassion.
