In simple everyday language this course will offer a detailed introduction to the Buddhist Eightfold Path. The Buddha in his forty-five years of teaching taught two things: why humans suffer and how to end suffering. Rev. Kusala will explore the ins and outs of the Eightfold Path, how it can lead to the end of suffering, a lifestyle of simplicity and personal fulfillment. Through stories and personal insights Kusala will show how to use and integrate the Eightfold Path into everyday life.
