Constant Craving: Controlling Desire and Finding Satisfaction

TIME: 1:00 – 4:00 PM

COST: $25 (Free for Silver/Gold Benefactors)

Do you suffer from constant craving? We have so many ordinary desires – more food, more drink, more money, more stimulation, bigger house, better car, different clothes, better reputation – the list is endless. But often when we try to satisfy these desires we are disappointed and become even more dissatisfied – wanting more of the same, or something different!  In this course we will learn how to find happiness, contentment, and freedom from uncontrolled desire using Buddha’s time-tested methods.
