Talk: The Four Basic Thoughts

About this event

What is Diamond Way Buddhism? Saturday 3 October 2026, 11:00 am Every Diamond Way Buddhist meditation starts with four essential statements that we use to motivate and remind ourselves why it is so important to practise meditation and to learn more about Buddhism. These Four Basic Thoughts point mind toward its highest possibilities: the preciousness of this human life, the impermanence of everything composite, karma (cause and effect), and the reasons for working with mind. This talk will introduce and explain these four topics and will end with a guided meditation. There will also be an opportunity to ask any questions you may have. All are welcome! All are welcome!
