Introduction to Buddhism Course and Registration
The next Introduction to Buddhism Course starts on Thursday, February 22nd, 2024 at 7:30PM U.S. Eastern Time (virtual via Zoom)!
The course is a real-life approach to living the Noble Eightfold Path, based on the course text, Everyday Buddhism: Real-Life Teachings & Practices for Real Change, by Wendy Shinyo Haylett Sensei. It also includes custom handouts, created by Wendy Shinyo, for reflection and discussion during the weekly sessions. Additionally, the course facilitator, Robert Unyo Ahlander Sensei, an Everyday Buddhism teacher and Lay Minister with the Bright Dawn Center of Oneness Buddhism, will present focused Dharma insights in each class.
The course is FREE to Everyday Buddhism Community and Everyday Sangha members. If you are not a Community or Sangha Member and don't wish to join either, the suggested donation is $25. It runs 9 weeks, from Thursday, February 22nd through Thursday, April 18th, 2024. Course schedule is listed below.
