Truth Of Happiness 2018 Dhamma Study Saturday Introduction January 6 2018

This is a live stream and recording of our Saturday morning Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on January 6, 2018. The stream begins every Saturday at 8:30 AM Eastern US time.

This is the introductory class for our 2018 12-week Dhamma study based on my book The Truth Of Happiness. The Truth Of Happiness book clearly explains the foundational teachings of the Buddha for developing a life of lasting peace and happiness.

Our Dhamma study begins with the meditation method taught by the Buddha as the foundation for integrating the Eightfold Path as the framework for gaining knowledge and insight into Anicca, Anatta, and Dukkha - Impermanence, The Not-Self Characteristic, and ongoing disappointment and suffering.

This week’s talk will introduce the Dhamma Study and the first week’s study of Shamatha-Vipassana meditation.

“I teach understanding suffering and the path developing the cessation suffering. Nothing More.” (Majjhima Nikaya 22 and other suttas)
