The Four Ennobling Tasks, often referred to as the Four Noble Truths, are an invitation to all of us who are passionate about living a dignified and wakeful life, to cultivate and embody in our lives. This pivotal teaching of the Buddha professes that dukkha is to be understood, the origins of dukkha to be uprooted, the cessation of dukkha, liberation, to be realized and the pathway to liberation to be cultivated. The Four Ennobling Tasks are much more than a statement of doctrine but an investigation of how dukkha is created and recreated moment to moment through confusion and heedlessness and how dukkha can be brought to an end through understanding and applying the Four Tasks.
In this programme we will offer our understanding of The Four Tasks and the implications this has for how we live our lives and the choices we make. There will be periods of teaching, time for questions and small peer groups.
