Introduction to Annual Teaching Series

The Four Noble Truths & the Twelve Insights

"The Four Noble Truths & the Twelve Insights" form the heart of the Buddha's teachings, offering a clear path to understanding and ending suffering. This framework invites deep reflection and direct experience. Through study and practice, we uncover insights that lead to greater freedom and peace.

Awakening into The Paramis

The Paramis are the ten states of mind, attitudes, or behaviors that lead to peace. They do not exist in a vacuum and are interrelated with each other. The Paramis are fluid, flowing in and out of each other, having no boundary lines or strict definitions. We practice by keeping them lightly in balance in the back of our minds. Ajahn Sucitto’s book, Parami: Ways to Cross Life’s Floods, is a great guide for exploring the Paramis.

Teaching the Threes

The three groupings included in this teaching series are as follows: Three Refuges, Three Characteristics, Three Poisons and Three Pillars of Insight.

The Oxherding Pictures

Each of the 10 Oxherding pictures comes with a short verse. The pictures represent the struggle we have as practitioners living in samsara (the conditioned world). The ox (or bull) represents what can be called the true self, Buddha-nature, emptiness, and/or anatta (non-self). The oxherder represents each of us as practitioners. The pictures tell the story of a practitioner’s journey towards greater peace and acceptance with seeing things as they truly are.
