Introduction to Buddhism
The series of one-hour fifteen minute introductory class sessions for new people interested in Buddhism will continue on the next three Wednesday evenings. All are welcome to join. Session two (November 30) will review the Four Noble Truths, focusing on the Four Thoughts, and introduce Mahāyana Buddhism. Session three (December 7) will focus on the Mahāyana practice of taking the Bodhisattva Vow and introduce Vajrayana Buddhism (commonly known as Tibetan Buddhism). Session four (December 14) will focus on Vajrayana Buddhism and the particular practices of our Nyingma tradition. All sessions, taught by a senior student, will include 15 minutes of meditation. All are welcome to join any session.
