Most people don’t realize this . . .  

The stress, the constant thinking, the weight we carry, it isn’t something we were ever taught how to understand, let alone work with.

And yet, there’s a path that has helped billions people do exactly that for over 2,500 years.  Not by asking you to believe anything.  But by helping you see clearly.

That’s exactly why we’re offering a simple, beginner-friendly 2-part class designed for real people, living real lives, carrying real challenges.

➤ 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗕𝗨𝗗𝗗𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗠 (Part 1)
📅 Sunday, April 18th | 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
A clear, approachable look at who the Buddha was, what he discovered, and why his insights still matter today.  This is not abstract philosophy.  It’s about understanding why we suffer . . . and what begins to ease it.

➤ 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗡 𝗕𝗨𝗗𝗗𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗠 (Part 2)
📅 Sunday, May 3rd | 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
What if peace didn’t come from trying harder?  What if it came from realizing you were never alone in the first place?  In this session, we’ll explore the Jodo Shinshu tradition of Buddhism centered on acceptance, compassion, and the surprising truth that you are already supported, even when life feels heavy.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿:

You don’t need to be “spiritual.”
You don’t need prior knowledge.
You don’t need to be anything other than exactly who you already are.

We’re not here to teach you what to think.

We’re here to offer you a perspective that might help you suffer less, understand more, and maybe, just maybe… feel a little lighter walking out than when you walked in.

__________ 

👉 Come early if you’d like, and sit in on our 10:30 AM Dharma Service. Many people find that experience alone unexpectedly meaningful.
