The Buddha taught that our minds are inflamed with desire. We spend our lives craving happiness and freedom from suffering -- yet the very act of craving causes suffering and blocks happiness. This class will explore the nature of desire and its antidotes, including meditations to help one work with desire and attachment as they arise in everyday life.
