- **Event Name**: Constantly looking for another now - Dukkha, the core teachings of Buddhism
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Sun, 08 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: ”Thoughts are prompted by and are also identical with dissatisfaction, dukkha, the constantly repeated feeling that something is lacking, incomplete in our lives. Somehow, something is not quite right, not quite enough. So we are always trying to fill the gap, to make things right, to find that extra bit of pleasure or security.”
Chögyam Trungpa, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism

After his enlightenment, the first teaching of the Buddha was the truth of suffering– that all human experience is marked by some aspect of dissatisfaction, or dukkha in Sanskrit. Dukkha encompasses a wide range of experiences including physical and emotional pain to even the small moments of dissatisfaction and irritation that arise in our lives.

Dukkha is experienced by everyone, from the most fortunate of us to the most destitute, and it connects us in a deeply human way. Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche taught that the acknowledgment of dukkha is crucial for spiritual awakening. By fully understanding and accepting the nature of suffering, we can begin to transform it into a source of wisdom and compassion, moving towards liberation. This transformative approach is not about eliminating suffering entirely but about changing one's relationship with it, using awareness and insight to transcend the habitual patterns that perpetuate our suffering. 

During this weekend, we will:
Practice shamatha meditation, allowing ourselves to settle into mind’s innate clarity, steadfastness, and goodness
Explore the habitual emotional patterns that lead to suffering, also known as the “cocoon” in the Shambhala teachings
Through group practice and contemplation, discuss how to transform these patterns into opportunities for growth and freedom.
