Of paths, the Path of Eight Constituents is the noblest;

Of truths, the Four Noble Truths are the noblest;
Of the teachings, the absence of craving (i.e. Nibbana) is the noblest;
Of the two-legged beings, the All-Seeing Buddha is the noblest.

~Dhammapada verse 273


Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The Noble Eightfold Path can be said to be the most important element in the Buddha’s teaching. The Path is what makes the Dharma available to us a living experience.
Without the Path, the Dharma would just be a shell, a collection of doctrines without inner life.“Without the Path, liberation from suffering would be a mere dream.”

We look forward to your loving presence.

Please wear comfortable clothing as we will be seated on the floor.

With Loving Kindness,
Jian Xin Shifu
