The Five Kleshas: Understanding the Causes of Suffering
Wednesdays (Every Other Week)
7:00–8:00 PM (PT)
Online via Zoom
Join us as we begin an exploration of the Five Kleshas—the mental and emotional patterns that obscure our true nature and give rise to suffering. Through meditation, discussion, and contemplation, we will examine how these teachings can help us better understand ourselves and our relationships.
The series will begin with two sessions introducing the Five Kleshas. We will continue with a licensed screening of the award-winning Korean film Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring, followed by two discussion sessions exploring the kleshas as they are reflected in the film.
Whether you are new to meditation or have been practicing for years, you are warmly welcome.
