ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS – Walking the Eightfold Path with Jack Kornfield

Thursday, November 11th, at 10:30am in the Club Room at Creekside

                   Although this is a continuing series, it is not necessary to have attended previous programs. In this roundtable format, the next video from the series “Walking the Eightfold Path with Jack Kornfield” will be shown followed by small group discussions. Those attending will be seated at tables to watch the video teaching. After the video, each table will discuss the presentation, then join the other tables in a general conversation. The Eightfold Path is the teaching offered by the Buddha as the way out of human suffering. According to Buddhist tradition, these were among the first lessons offered by the Buddha after his enlightenment. In these presentations, Jack Kornfield applies this ancient wisdom to modern life. Each video contains insights and wisdom for thought and discussion. All are welcome to attend this presentation.
