Truth Of Happiness 2018 Dhamma Study Week 12 Saturday Hindrances April 14 2018.

This is a live stream and recording of our Saturday morning Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on April 14,  2018. The stream begins every Saturday at 8:30 AM Eastern US time.

This Saturday's class is the week twelve class of our 2018 12-week Dhamma study based on my book The Truth Of Happiness. Our study this week is on the hindrances.

Each Saturday class will have a thirty-minute Shamatha-Vipassana meditation followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion and conclude with Metta intentional meditation.
