We hope you can join us 

Our theme for September 2026 is:
The Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore

Verse 7:
Ill-being, the causes of Ill-being, the end of ill-being, the Path
Insight and attainment
Are also not separate self-entities

Thich Nhat Hanh teaches the Four Noble Truths as practical methods to transform suffering into peace by recognizing ill-being, looking at its roots, realizing well-being, and walking the mindful path.

After his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, the Buddha sat for some days in his inner liberation, which he called a state of nirvana. As Thich Nhat Hanh explains, “Nirvana means extinction = first of all, the extinction of all concepts and notions. Our concepts about things prevent us from really touching them.”

For the Buddha, the ability to see reality as it really is, free of all concepts that distort it, was also the extinction of suffering.
(Thich Nhat Hanh, The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching)
