Deep Wisdom for Everyday Life
with Karuna Cayton
The three classes presented by Shantideva center in collaboration with Karuna Cayton are profound Buddhist topics. However, everything taught by the Buddha and his followers are for the sole purpose of attaining a lasting state of contentment. The topics being taught – Renunciation, Buddha Nature, and Emptiness and Pure Perception – are essential to understand in order to attain the everlasting state of satisfaction. So, these topics will not only be presented from their philosophical importance but from their practical application in daily life as well.
