Truth Of Happiness 2018 Dhamma Study Thursdsy Week 12 Hindrances April 12 2018

This is a live stream and recording of our Thursday evening Dhamma class from Cross River Meditation Center in Frenchtown, New Jersey on April 12, 2018. The stream begins every Thursday at 7:15 PM Eastern US time.

This Thursday'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 Thursday class will have a twenty-minute Shamatha-Vipassana meditation followed by my Dhamma talk and Sangha discussion and conclude with Metta intentional meditation.
