Are you new to meditation? Curious about Buddhism? Looking for a spiritual home? EBMC offers a six-month suggested Core Curriculum for those seeking an introduction to the Buddha’s basic teachings. The curriculum also supports those looking to refresh their practice. It is not required that you take all of the class series offered below. You may register for any of the class series that interest you when registration opens for those programs. However, if you register for a class series, please commit to attending all of the classes in that class series.
Registration for each class series opens around 4 to 6 weeks before the first class in a class series.
This six-month Core Curriculum will focus on the Theravada and Mahayana Buddhist traditions, while integrating aspects of other Buddhist lineages, and also embedding the teachings in a social justice perspective aligned with EBMC’s vision. When you register, please keep in mind the overall intention of the half-year curriculum, since each program in this curriculum is intended to build on the previous programs in the curriculum. If you have questions, please email our admin team
A list of recommended Buddhist reading appears here. These online-only classes in the six-month curriculum are on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 PM Pacific Time.
