WBC FOUNDATION LEVEL COURSE *

Sunday Afternoons (Now via Zoom)*

ABOUT THE COURSE

“The Way of the Buddha—Meditation and Insight” is a year-long foundation-level course in 3 semesters (Fall 2019, Winter 2020, Spring 2020). Join us for Semester 2,“Transforming Suffering into Compassion—Insight, Egolessness and Buddha Nature,” as we continue to explore the path of mindfulness-awareness meditation and insight as originally described by the Buddha and skillfully transmitted to the West by one of the great Tibetan masters of our time. We will cover topics fundamental to the Buddhist teachings such as the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Three Yana Path, the Buddhist Refuge, and the Bodhisattva path of compassion in the Mahayana, focusing on the techniques and stages of meditation and bringing meditation into our daily lives. 

Students may enroll for the remaining two semesters (Winter and Spring 2020), enroll for the Winter semester only, or attend individual classes on a “drop-in’ basis.

This series is recommended for both beginning and experienced practitioners, and is designed to benefit participants whether or not they can attend regularly. This course is the perfect next step for those that participated in the Walking in the Footsteps of the Buddha course last year.
