with Sean Feit

The Buddhist traditions offer a vast range of teachings, from ethical guidelines for daily life and relationships to instructions for meditation and descriptions of the deepest truths of reality. In this 4-part class we’ll study a selection of core Buddhist texts from both early (Pāli Canon) and later (Mahāyāna) schools, focusing on the foundational teaching of the Four Noble Truths. We will explore the classical implications of the teaching, which is said to encapsulate the entire Dharma, and its relevance to the complex suffering of our own lives and the world now.

Open to all, but oriented toward Committed Practitioners. The class focuses on study of texts and concepts from the Theravāda and Mahāyāna Buddhist traditions and assumes some familiarity with basic Buddhist teachings and meditation instructions.
