Next Topic (05.06. – 26.06.): Finding Emotional Freedom – The Four Noble Truths

In our hectic world, moments of happiness often seem fleeting, while inner peace appears elusive. Negative mental states like uncontrolled desire and anger create endless problems and hinder us from fulfilling our deepest desires.

Buddha’s timeless teachings of the four noble truths offer a clear and simple solution. They guide us toward an oasis of peace and happiness within our hearts.
