Financial Support

Our mission is to make all of our programs accessible. Every fee-based offering has a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots available to support self-identified people of color, members of marginalized groups (queer people, transgender people, and  people with disabilities) and those in financial need (those for whom the cost to attend is not financially possible). 

These spots are offered on a first come, first served basis. Please pay at the highest level you can afford. In order for this support to be available, we rely on those who can afford to pay the full price to do so.

Find out if spots are available by clicking REGISTER NOW on the event you are interested in.

Refund and Event Policies

Connect to greater freedom and ease by understanding the three marks of existence, and applying their wisdom to your everyday life.

Join InsightLA Teacher Eileen Ybarra for this 3-part series at Benedict Canyon Retreat House.

The Three Marks of Existence

The three marks of existence are Buddhism’s basic description of reality. They are impermanence, suffering, and non-self. Insight into these teachings fosters a greater sense of ease and leads us to liberation. 

How can a practical understanding of the three marks of existence benefit our daily lives? We will explore this question together within this 3-week series. Each week will include a 30 minute guided mindfulness meditation, a dharma talk, and time for discussion within a supportive community setting.

Who is this class series for?

This class series on the three marks of existence is for anyone who would like to deepen their understanding of the Buddhist view of reality.

All are welcome, including those new to Buddhism and/or meditation.

Where is this class series located?

This event will take place in person at the Benedict Canyon Retreat House. Find directions, parking and accessibility information here.
