About this Event
Students will be introduced to how they can acquire wisdom through learning, reflecting (i.e. independently verifying), and practicing The Teachings of The Buddha, leading to Enlightenment.
Students will learn the primary form of meditation taught by The Buddha to train his mind to attain Enlightenment. Students can experience this life changing practice through being guided in a Breathing Mindfulness Meditation session by the Teacher.
At the conclusion of this course, Students will have learned an introduction to developing a meditation practice to eliminate discontent feelings from the mind such as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, boredom, loneliness, shyness, jealousy, resentment, stress, anxiety, etc.

What is Enlightenment?
Enlightenment is a mental state attainable during this life, or at death, where the mind will be peaceful, calm, serene, and content with joy - permanently.
The mind will have eliminated 100% of all discontent feelings such as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, boredom, loneliness, shyness, jealousy, resentment, stress, anxiety, etc.
The mind will have a high degree of focus, concentration, memory, and clarity of mind. The mind will be stable, steady, and unshakable. Your personal and professional relationships will be blossoming and completely harmonious.
What is The Path to Enlightenment?
The Path to Enlightenment is a purification of the mind by training the mind, reaching a point where the mind experiences only peacefulness, calmness, serenity, and contentedness with joy - the Enlightened mind.
The Path to Enlightenment is the solution to the challenges you experience in the world, and the solutions of how to heal from what hurt you so that you never need to hurt again.
This is accomplished through learning, growing, and evolving to cultivate wisdom of how to train the mind, not through belief. There are no rites, rituals, ceremonies, worship, or prayer in The Teachings of The Buddha.
