CANCELED – Karma, Rebirth and Selflessness (Bloomfield)

Because of scheduling conflicts, this class is CANCELED.

Instead, please join the West Suffield class on Wednesday, April 1 @ 6pm. The Wednesday class will be offered in-person and via Zoom.

The Nalandabodhi Introduction to Buddhism series explores basic principles of Buddhism and lays the foundation for deeper study.  They are friendly, genuine, and skillfully designed for a modern Western audience. If you are new to Buddhism this is a good place to start.  If you have been studying Buddhism, these courses can serve as a refresher and bring new insight into the foundational teachings of the Buddha.

All are welcome. No prior experience with meditation or Buddhism is required.

The courses are based on talks by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche. Senior Nalandabodhi students facilitate the discussion using sourcebooks based on Rinpoche’s talks.

The third course in the Introduction to Buddhism series is Karma, Rebirth and Selflessness (Intro to Buddhism 103).

This course is a 4-week series. It includes the following topics:

• The Four Seals of the Buddha’s Teaching – Part 1
• The Four Seals of the Buddha’s Teaching – Part 2
• The Four Reminders
• Connecting with the Buddha’s Heart
