This course is a great way to develop one's knowledge of Buddhism's amazing array of philosophies, morality, and practical life lessons. It will focus on one of the most core teachings of the Buddhism, "The Eight Fold Path." Together, the group will explore these teachings and practices as told from a variety of traditions and perspectives.
Each week there will be assigned readings and homework that the group will be expected to complete before class. This course will also serve as a support for you to develop and sustain a daily meditation practice.
For interested students, this course counts for six weeks of the IDP's 40-week Buddhist Studies certification program.
