Suffering, it’s a concept we’re all familiar with, we experience every day and may have even come to accept as a natural part of life. It’s important to note that though we may read about ‘suffering’ as mentioned in Buddhist textbooks, there’s a more profound meaning to it, a concept to be understood. Because in actual fact, the suffering we experience is based entirely in the ignorance of the mind. This is good news! It means that we have an answer, a solution, a one-way ticket to freedom from the suffering that holds us down. True happiness is out there, provided we’re willing to search for it.

The first step to this happiness is the first step on the Noble Eightfold Path: ‘Right View’. Right View is all about trying to reach within yourself to solve your surface level problems at their core rather, ignorance. Join as we begin this transformative journey together and take our first steps towards achieving the Right View. There’s no need for past experiences or knowledge of Buddhist teachings. We’re all starting fresh, detoxing our mind by showing it the right view. So as long as you’ve got an open mind and the will to keep pushing on towards freeing yourself from suffering,you’re welcome to join us as we take our first steps towards a happier life.
