“All that is conditioned is impermanent. All that is tainted is suffering. All phenomena are empty and devoid of self. Nirvana is peace.”
These four powerful insights are the core of the Buddha’s teaching, setting Buddhism apart from other beliefs and philosophies. They offer a unique perspective on life, emphasizing both the transient nature of our experiences and our potential for inner peace.
In four sessions, Khenpo Chophel will dive into these teachings, making them accessible and relevant for today’s world. Whether you’re dealing with stress, looking for meaning, or just curious about Buddhism, this transformative series will provide tools for a more mindful, peaceful, and fulfilling existence.
