Join Venerable Thubten Chodron for a profound teaching on Freedom from Cyclic Existence, exploring the path that leads beyond the recurring patterns of suffering described in Buddhist philosophy.

Drawing on the text Samsara, Nirvana, and Buddha Nature, co-authored by Venerable Chodron and His Holiness the Dalai Lama, this teaching unpacks the way we can become free from the patterns of ignorance, karma, and afflictive emotions that keep us bound in cyclic existence.

This session offers a rare opportunity to engage with these essential teachings from the Library of Wisdom and Compassion series and to reflect on how recognising these patterns in our own experience can open the path to freedom.
