How Would The Buddha Understand The Very Deepest Causes of These Terribe Situations?

With Pat Coffey

Many areas of our world are on fire with aggression and war.  This, of course, is nothing new.   What is driving all this?  Is it just that some "bad actor" nations or groups need to be brought into line and then everything will be fine?  What are the root causes of this seemingly endless and continuing strife?  

The Buddha reflected on this throughout his 45 years of teaching as he watched clans, tribes and kingdoms tear each other apart.

Tonight we will explore how the Buddha understood the very deepest roots of conflict and his prescription for working with the situation at hand. 

IMCC meets every Tuesday evening for a period of guided meditation and a talk by one of IMCC's experienced meditation teachers. The program is designed to be friendly and of interest to people with no meditation experience as well as more advanced practitioners.
