Dharma Talk by Bob & Carol Colacurcio, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm at St. Peter’s Parish Hall.
The Topic is "The Third Noble Truth: The Cessation of Dukkha"
The four noble truths are the basic Buddhist teachings on the actual human condition. Dukkha frequently translated as "suffering" literally means "dissatisfactory" or "frustrating". This so-called "bad news" has led to misconstrue Buddhism as pessimistic but the message is inherently optimistic; it contains the real possibility, of spiritual rebirth and the end of suffering.
