SUMMARY:The Four Seals: the hallmark of the Buddha’s teaching
DESCRIPTION:All that is conditioned is impermanent\,\nAll that is tainted is suffering\,\nAll phenomena are empty and devoid of self\,\nNirvana is peace. \nIt is often said that the mark of a real Buddhist is that they accept these four seals. These four statements encapsulate the uniqueness of the Buddha’s teachings and set those teachings apart from all other religions and philosophies. \nOur study of  The Four Seals  will continue for 15 weeks. It is suitable for students who have completed all or most of the earlier modules of the This Life course this year\, or\, who are familiar with The 4 Noble Truths and The 3 Yanas and have a regular meditation practice.\nRigpa’s policy is that financial difficulties should not be an obstacle to attending our courses. If this is an issue for you and attending this course\, please contact us at sydney@rigpa.org.au
