Tonight, we listened to a talk by Steve Armstrong on the Four Noble Truths.  For those of you who would like to listen again, here is the link to that talk:

Understanding the Four Noble Truths

Here is another reading that might be of interest that was not in the handouts tonight:

The Buddha and his Dhamma

The handouts tonight included this article:

The Nobility of the Truths

and this outline on the Four Noble Truths by Kim Allen from Insight Meditation South Bay.

Next week’s topic will be the Eightfold Noble Path.

Metta,
Lori

Dear all:

Please try to post only comments that are relevant to the group or this website, rather than posting content that perhaps would be better put in a personal e-mail.  We haven’t talked about “right speech” yet, but it’s helpful to review what you’re about to post and see if it’s useful or relevant for the group.  If so, please feel free to post comments here.

If you need to reach me directly, please send e-mail to insightmeditationmodesto@gmail.com.

with kind regards and thanks,

Lori

We discussed possible next topics after the 6-week course ends on July 21st and the choice was to focus on the core Buddhist  teachings (Four Noble Truths and Eight-fold Path) next.  So, we will begin with the Four Noble Truths on July 28th and proceed through the Eight-fold Path after that.
