Dharma Study Group
February 20 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EST
The Dharma Study Group is a drop-in group–you are welcome to attend once or as many times as you like. We will explore basic teachings of Buddhism using both a philosophical and, more importantly, a practical, approach. We will first study Bhikkhu Bodhi’s In the Words of the Buddha, so that we acquire a strong foundation in core teachings. If this all goes well, subsequently we will use this foundation to study important Mahayana texts like the Heart Sutra and the Diamond Sutra. We will be doing a close reading of the texts, paragraph by paragraph and line by line when necessary. The class will be very interactive. We’re in no rush. What is most important is that everyone be comfortable with the material and make progress in their own way.
