Introduction to Buddhism

This is an 16-week introductory series on the essential points of the Buddhist path. Topics covered in the classes 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, and the four noble truths.

The classes in this series will run from October 19, 2011 through February 15, 2012 as our Wednesday night Open House talks.

All are welcome!

These classes also make up the 100 Level study curriculum for Nalandabodhi, Center for American Buddhism™.

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 Store. It is recommended that class readings be done prior to each class.
