"The Dhammapada part 1"
The Dhammapada is one of the most popular and revered texts in Buddhism. In the words of the Buddha himself, orally transmitted by his students and collected in 423 short verses, it captures the essence of Buddhist teaching. Compiled in the third century BCE, the text is part of the Pali Canon, the Sutta-pitaka (collections of sermons) of the Tripitaka and can be found in the Khuddaka Nikayan (collection of little texts).

The Dhammapada is a very inspiring text that covers moral teaching, teachings on mindfulness as well as on how to obtain happiness and find a way out of suffering.

Our early morning start time is due to webcast coming from East Coast.
The retreat will include Dharma talk and guided meditation period.
You are encouraged to bring a meditation cushion if you like. The room will have classroom style chairs.
