Asalha Puja, the full moon night of the 8th lunar month, this year falling on Jul 30, marks the day the Buddha delivered his first sermon on the Four Noble Truths - that suffering exists, craving is its cause, the path out exists, and what that entails (Noble Eightfold Path). Buddhist Lent, beginning a day after, on Jul 31, is a 3 month period where seekers of the spiritual path engage in more intensive spiritual training, whether that be to meditate, to increase one's hours of practice, or to abstain from intoxicants, etc...I invite you to embark on this rewarding 3-month long journey towards self-development and the cultivation of inner peace by engaging in daily meditative practice
