Ehipassiko Session 1 - Life of the Buddha

This session we take a look into the life of the Buddha. Many people are very interested in meditation to calm their minds. But why does meditation help? The journey of the Buddha provides a better understanding to why we should meditate and how we should go about learning to meditate.

For those who did not manage to join us this session, please take some time aside to watch the following video. The start may be a little slow but the content of this video gives a very good basic introduction to Buddhism and the events that inspired Buddha to understand the way of nature and life and to sit down to contemplate the meaning of life and death.

Feel free to share your views and opinions after watching the video. Cheers!
