Tuesday Night Meditation and Dharma Teaching (We have moved to NEST RALEIGH)
We meet every Tuesday evening at NEST CO-WORKING SPACE,

For our teaching on Tuesday 11/17 we will engage in a more detailed examination of the Four Noble Truths. These four teachings made up of 1. The Noble Truth of Suffering, 2. The Noble Truth of the Origin or Cause of Suffering, 3. The Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering and 4. The Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering. These four were first given during his first sermon to his five compatriots in the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta. In English we know it as "The Setting in Motion of the Wheel of the Dhamma" teaching.
We begin with a 25-30 minute meditation and finish with the Dharma talk. All are welcome. Class by Dana (generosity).
Parking is free after 6pm on the street (in legal spaces) in downtown Raleigh. We are also on ZOOM if you cannot make it in person. (To join just click the register link button and you will join the meeting)
