Find Your True Path With The Buddha

With Shagun Maheshwari

We're all navigating through a maze of confusion, juggling numerous responsibilities and pursuits that keep us constantly engaged and occupied. Despite our relentless pursuit of passions and success, we often find ourselves lacking a genuine sense of purpose and fulfillment. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Gautama Buddha, too, grappled with similar challenges. However, he left us a precious legacy—a systematic approach to uncovering our true path, step by step. In this course, we'll embark on this journey, following in his footsteps. We'll begin by examining the fundamentals: what are the various issues we encounter and why do they arise? Together, we'll delve deep into these core issues and explore their root causes. Then finally, we will start to find the solutions for our problems and will discover our true path of Middle Way as given to us by our dear teacher, Gautama Buddha. I welcome all of you in this 6-days course. It is concise, practical, and yet very enriching. And I invite you to learn these teachings but do go back for contemplation and meditate on these topics. This course will be like finding a true medicine for your problems. Buddha is your doctor; I am a simple nurse assisting him and these teachings are your true medicines. I rejoice in the efforts you are making today, and I hope all of you will find your true path and your true sense of fulfillment through this course.
