Introduction to Buddhism Course and Registration
The next Introduction to Buddhism Course starts on Thursday, August 29th, 2024 at 7:00PM 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. In addition to Wendy Shinyo Sensei, the course facilitators are Charity Keiyo Rust-Jordan Sensei, a Lay Minister with the Bright Dawn Center of Oneness Buddhism, and Todd Nichijoyo LaMondie, a facilitator with the Everyday Buddhism Community. They 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, August 29th through Thursday, October 24th, 2024. Course schedule is listed below.
We will need a donation or request for scholarship to ensure your registration. If you join the Membership Community or Everyday Sangha, you can cancel your participation in those and the Intro Course at any time.
