A series of talks by Vince Cullen exploring Buddhist-oriented practices and principals that are intended to lead away from avoidable-suffering and to move towards the potential end of avoidable-suffering. The source material is contained in the free ‘From Hungry Ghost To Being Human’ booklet and ‘The Forgiveness Workbook‘.

Avoidable-suffering is universal and takes many forms, however, this series of talks may be of particular interest to anyone currently struggling with the three fires of Cravings, Aversions and Confusions.

This series of online talks ran over 8-weeks and was based on the foundational principles and practices of the Fifth Precept Sangha (Community) as follows:

• Truth, Karma and Commitment to Awakening
• Generosity in Thoughts, Words and Actions
• Living in Harmony: Ethics-Harmlessness-Blamelessness
• Self-love, Self-compassion, Self-appreciation & Self-balance
• Transgression & Forgiveness
• Mindfulness & Meditation
• Admirable Friends & Fellowship
• OK, Where Do I Go Now?

“For me, these are my personal ‘foundations’ of awakening and recovery.  I say awakening and recovery but they are really the same thing. These ‘foundations’ are the principles and practices that I wish someone had told me 24-years ago when I first woke up to living life without intoxicants.”
