Buddha taught that the true nature of things is emptiness and that all of our problems come from not understanding this. Emptiness is not nothingness. It is the middle way, the way in which things really exist. When we realize emptiness, all our suffering and problems will permanently cease just as when we awake from a nightmare, all the terror from the dream simply disappears. In this course, we will receive teachings and be guided in practical meditations on emptiness to help us improve our understanding of emptiness in our daily life. As our familiarity with emptiness increases, our mind will become more relaxed, we’ll see others in a more positive light, and we’ll make quick progress on attaining the lasting happiness of enlightenment. Everyone is welcome to attend this course. No meditation experience is necessary.
