SUMMARY:DISCOVERING BUDDHISM: Samsara and Nirvana
DESCRIPTION:(HYBRID) What is samsara and why are we stuck in it? What is
  nirvana and how can we achieve it? Develop the wish to be free from suf
 fering and empower yourself with practical tools to deal with and elimin
 ate disturbing emotions forever.\n\n\n\nAll living creatures know suffer
 ing—this is the Buddha’s first noble truth. And many of us also know
  how ordinary pain can grow into extraordinary suffering due to the powe
 r of our minds. In Buddhism\, these negative states of mind that lead to
  suffering are called delusions. They are a primary cause for our remain
 ing stuck in samsara—the cycle of endless rebirths that ordinarily pro
 pels one’s mind toward more suffering. The good news is that complete 
 liberation from the suffering of an afflictive mind (nirvana) is entirel
 y possible.\n\n\n\nDiscover how we can move out of a state of inevitable
  suffering to one of pure and irreversible peace. Find out how to develo
 p your own determination to be completely free from suffering (renunciat
 ion)\, and get empowered with practical tools for dealing with disturbin
 g emotions up to the point of elimination.\n\n\n\nTopics include:\n\n\n\
 n\nFour Noble Truths (understanding suffering\, its cause\, that there i
 s the possibility of complete peace\, and the path out of suffering)\n\n
 \n\nThree higher Trainings for liberation\n\n\n\nUnderstanding the natur
 e and causes of the universal sufferings of birth\, sickness\, aging\, a
 nd death\n\n\n\nRemoving the root causes of suffering (delusion and karm
 a) The sufferings unique to human existence and how to overcome them\n\n
 \n\nTwelve Links of Dependent Origination\n\n\n\n\n“Samsara\, or cycli
 c existence\, does not refer to our land or our house or our things. Sam
 sara refers to the mental afflictions and the negative thoughts that bin
 d us to this tiresome cycle of birth\, death\, and rebirth.”Yangsi Rin
