Course Overview
Buddhism appeals to many Westerners because it’s nonjudgmental, requires no faith, and teaches ways to reduce suffering. It encourages personal responsibility, mindfulness, and compassion for ourselves and others. We’ll discuss the life and times of the prince who became the Buddha, his search for enlightenment, his teachings, the historical development of Buddhism, plus current branches and their practices. We’ll also discuss the work of some modern-day teachers including the Dalai Lama, Thich Nhat Hanh, and several prominent American authors. We’ll enjoy slide shows, videos, and readings, plus discussions. This class assumes no prior knowledge, but also goes into reasonable depth to interest those with some experience.Additional Information
