Does The Four Noble Truths just seems like another list to memorize? How can they be applied in meaningful ways in our lives as BIPOCs?

What are “truths”? How did we learn them? How do familial, cultural, and institutional systems promote, validate, or teach us to, perhaps, even unknowingly collude? Join me to see how my reframed Engaged Four Noble Truths can reflect our multi-dimensional, lived experiences as BIPOCs. We’ll do this through reading and practicing these teachings with my book Home is Here: Practicing Antiracism with the Engaged Eightfold Path

The series will cover what Rev. Liên frames as the three essential aspects of healing:

1. Acknowledging what is.

2. Knowing what shifts are especially needed, and

3. Learning how to put those shifts into practice.

   Meditative, mindful reflective, and interactive exercises will be used throughout the 3-part series to see how the reframed expansions from the traditional teachings can support an engaged practice, enlivening us with agency.
