Program Description:
Join us for a four-week program looking at the Buddha in conversation. The suttas record the Buddha’s side of a series of dialogues, but we are often left as if overhearing someone talk on the phone to an unidentified other. Careful analysis reveals details of context that bring the conversation back to life, revealing the Buddha’s detailed knowledge of and interest in the lives of his contemporaries. More than *what* the Buddha taught, this program focuses on *how* he taught. Understanding how he responded to the challenges of his day gives us an insight into how we can respond to the challenges of ours.
This is a freely offered, pay what you can program.
