Emptiness for Beginners
What it Means and How it Can Bring Us Freedom
Of all Buddha’s teachings, none are more far-reaching and transformative than the teachings on emptiness, the true nature of reality. The word itself may sound depressing, or the idea of thinking about the nature of reality as philosophical time wasting. But understanding and meditating on emptiness gives us almost unimaginable freedom.
Join us for an introduction to this most profound teaching. We will learn what emptiness is, why it is the most practical method for overcoming whatever challenges we face, and how we can apply it in meditation and in our daily life.
