# The Five Kleshas Through Film

### A Five-Session Meditation & Discussion Series

Beginning Wednesday, July 15, 2026
Every Other Wednesday • 7:00–8:00 PM (Pacific Time)
Online via Zoom • Free • Everyone Welcome
Join us for a five-session meditation and discussion series exploring the Buddhist teaching of the Five Kleshas—the habitual patterns of mind that create suffering and obscure our innate wisdom and compassion.
Together we will explore:

  • Ignorance
  • Craving (Attachment)
  • Aversion (Aggression)
  • Pride
  • Jealousy

This series includes a special licensed screening of the acclaimed, award-winning Korean film Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring, followed by two discussion sessions exploring the film through the lens of the Five Kleshas.

## Series Schedule

July 15 – Meditation & Introduction to the Five Kleshas
July 29 – Continuing Our Exploration of the Five Kleshas
⭐ August 12 – Special Extended Session
Licensed Screening of Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring
7:00–9:00 PM (approximately 1 hour and 43 minutes)
August 26 – Film Discussion & Reflection
September 9 – Integrating the Teachings into Daily Life

### What to Expect

Each regular session includes:

  • Guided Meditation
  • Dharma Teaching
  • Group Discussion
  • Closing Dedication of Merit

The August 12 gathering is a special extended evening featuring the complete licensed screening of the film. During the remaining sessions, we will explore how the Five Kleshas arise in everyday life and how Buddhist practice transforms them into wisdom and compassion.
No prior meditation experience or knowledge of Buddhism is necessary. Whether you are new to meditation or have been practicing for years, you are warmly welcome.

Although participants are encouraged to begin on July 15 to experience the full progression of the series, you are welcome to join at any point.
