This was our final class in the three-part lecture series from Heather Iarusso called "Sitting for Liberation." This series explores The Three Marks of Existence, one of the Buddha's most transformative teachings. During the past two weeks we've investigated how becoming intimate with suffering and how embracing impermanence can bring ease, wonder, and contentment to our lives.
This Tuesday was our last meeting, which focused on the not-self characteristic. The teachings on not-self are an integral part of Buddhist study, providing deep freedom and clarity in daily life.
This series is being led by Heather Shoren Iarusso. Heather is the SFZC program director, as well as a Zen teacher and priest, currently living in residence at City Center. To learn more about Heather you can view her bio here.
