The Eight Realisations of a Bodhisattva and how they are still relevant today is an important foundation to end our dissatisfaction or Dukkha. Anyone who wishes to walk the Buddhist path or Path of Mindfulness can walk and embody the powerful insights into daily life that make us "great". Upon discussions of these realisations we hope to understand our fixations and inhibitions so that we can let go of desires and overcome the suffering we subject ourselves to. Rev. Miao You looks forward to meeting you in person or virtually.
