Understanding life and death - day course
How to attain everlasting happiness
with Resident Teacher John McBretney
Date & time : Sat 6 Mar 2010, 10am - 4pm
All life’s sufferings arise because we don’t realise we will die. Due to ignorance of death we are strongly attached to all the attractive things of this life alone which causes endless worries, disappointment, frustration and fear. Understanding death according to Buddha’s supremely skilful teachings frees us naturally from suffering and leads us to spiritual paths, the source of all good qualities and happiness in this life and beyond.
Venue: Heruka Centre, 13 Woodstock Road, Golders Green, London, NW11 8ES
