Hoboken Meditation Class

Monday Nights at 7pm at Symposia Community Bookstore, 510 Washington St, Hoboken, NJ 07030

Whether it is our daily life worries and upsets, or our deeper grief, depression and rage, all of our sufferings can be transformed into empowering states of mind that increase our inner strength, love and joy. The first step in transforming our suffering is understanding its source. Where does our suffering come from? Can it be removed? Is it in the body? The mind?

In this series we will journey through Buddha’s teaching on the Four Noble Truths, in which both the problem of suffering as well as its solution are presented with extraordinary clarity. Through teachings and explorations of our own mind in meditation, we will discover that the main cause of suffering is not the external conditions, but rather our internal responses. In other words, suffering comes from our mind. Understanding this crucial point opens us up to our ability to transform and eventually remove suffering altogether thereby allowing us to discover our potential for real and lasting joy.
