PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE FOUR SEALS OF DHARMA

Buddha's teaching is not a Dogma or Belief System, rather Buddha simply observed the truth of our existence as it is, without elaboration. These marks of existence, known as The Four Seals of Dharma are; impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, selflessness and nirvana is peace. When observed they educate us in how to relate in accord with reality and thereby live in peace. Don't miss this very important opportunity to be reminded of the cornerstone of the Buddha's teaching and how we can use these insights practically in our everyday lives.
