🟡 Buddhist Living: Embodying Love & Wisdom SERIES OF CLASSES
April 4, 2024 May 30, 2024

This course is essentially an answer to the question, “how does one live like a Buddhist in a life of 21st-century responsibilities, relationships, and challenges?”  

It will approach Buddhism not as a religion, an academic textbook, or a set of stripped-down secular practices, but rather as a well-rounded path for how to live well. You’ll learn the core philosophies, meditation techniques, and behavioral practices, focusing mostly on “trying it out in your daily life” and “seeing for yourself what happens.”

The course content will revolve around the two main teachings in Buddhism: the Four Noble Truths & the Noble Eightfold Path. 

In staying in integrity with the 2,600-year-old Buddhist tradition, this course will be offered on the “gift economy;” aka on donation, as a practice of mutual giving and receiving!

As donation-based offerings are a bit foreign in our culture, we request that you read over this article on how to think about the financial part of donation-based courses. We trust that whatever you donate will be the perfect amount. No one will be turned away or judged for lack of funds.

Also, just as importantly, offered-on-donation doesn’t mean “come when you feel like it” or “only participate halfway.” While of course life happens and you may have to miss a week or two, we request that you make a genuine commitment to showing up and doing the practices – that’s the only real way to turn these teachings from a good idea into something that truly makes a difference in your life.
