The Essential Principles and Blueprint of Practice in the Saṃyukta Āgama Sūtra.

"The integration of right view, concentration, and balanced cultivation of understanding and practice" represents a core principle of Buddhist cultivation. It emphasizes that while gaining correct understanding (right view of the Dharma) and cultivating concentration and insight (through meditation and wisdom), one must also put the teachings into practice in daily life (balancing understanding and action).

This event is free of charge, but registration is required for the purpose of seats and work practice arrangements.
