How to Make Our Challenges Our Allies?– Evening Teaching with Bhante Rāhula (In-Person & Online)

Thursday, June 18th, 7 – 9 pm at Seattle Insight Meditation Center in the University District, 4001 9th Ave NE. Those unable to attend in-person are also welcome to tune in via Zoom.

What if, by adjusting the perspective, we could turn our challenges into fertile ground for inner cultivation? Join Bhante Rāhula for an evening of exploration into how suffering itself can become an unexpected ally on the path. The event, hosted by Seattle Insight, represents another beautiful convergence of the two communities.

In the spirit of Dhamma, all teachings are offered completely free of charge, though those inspired may give in-person or online to Seattle Insight. For directions and information on what to bring, please visit the event listing on the SIMS website. Those unable to attend in-person are welcome to tune in via Zoom. Welcome!
