This is a four course introductory series on the essential points of the Buddhist path. Topics covered in the four classes of this first course include the life of the Buddha, Buddhism and cultural trappings, the nature of suffering and the path of freedom from suffering, the Buddhist perspective of a science of mind and meditation, the four noble truths, karma, and the four foundations of mindfulness.
The four courses of this series will run from June 20 through October 13 as our Wednesday night Open House talks.
All are welcome!
Students may also attend these classes on a drop in basis. These courses are free, though donations are accepted. Each course has an accompanying sourcebook based on the teachings of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche that is available for purchase at the Nalanda West bookstore. It is recommended that class readings be done prior to each class.
