WHAT WILL HE TALK ABOUT?

The Buddhist path of rebellion... The Buddha referred to his Awakening as having been "Against the Stream". The spiritual path is one of revolutionary acts of non-violent rebellion against greed, hatred and delusion. In this day-long meditation group and discussion Noah will speak about his own person journey of both positive and negative forms of subversion of the dominant paradigm and elucidate the Buddhist path of wisdom and compassion that lead to Freedom. Buddhism is a path to freedom from the suffering that originates in the addictive quality of thinking and the habitual reactive tendencies of our addiction to pleasure and aversion to pain. Noah belives that meditation is the only viable treatment for the disease of the human condition. The workshop is offered to anyone - you need not be in a 12-Step Program or have a Buddhist practice of meditation to learn from Noah's insights, wisdom and experience.
