Happening
Dear Friends, please feel welcome to join COS as we gather for another beautiful Happening led by Jenny, Tim and Ling.
As always, this is as wonderful opportunity for the whole sangha to offer sharings and to listen to each other. Offerings can be any form - readings, singing, showing of artwork or items of significance etc.
Monthly Theme:
The Four Holy Truths
The Four Noble Truths are the cream of the Buddha’s teaching.
The Four Noble or Holy Truths are:
The First Noble Truth – recognition. I am recognising what is going on.
The Second Noble Truth – we look deeply into the root of the situation
The Third Noble Truth – from this looking deeply we discover the ways that we have nourished and contributed to the situation
The Fourth Noble Truth –and we discover a way out.
And that way is via the Noble Eightfold Path.
(Thay Phap Hai, Nothing to It, p67).
