The First Teaching of the Buddha
Dear Brothers & Sisters,
The Buddha said, “Those who see the Dharma (Truth), see me.”
So let’s come together and celebrate Vesak by going through the Buddha’s first Teaching after his Enlightenment – The Four Noble Truths.
What the Buddha taught more than 2,500 years ago, still has immense relevance to the modern world. In fact, the Four Noble Truths have even been expressed in modern terms –
- Symptoms,
- Diagnosis,
- Prognosis and
- Prescriptions and applied in modern Science, Psychology, Psychotherapy, etc.
Looking forward to your loving presence.
Please wear comfortable clothing as we will be seated on the floor.
Amituofo,
Jian Xin Shifu
Date: 29 May 2015, Friday
