Most of us are familiar with the Buddha’s basic guidelines for virtuous living, that is, the five precepts. But the teachings also offer precise guidelines for skillful and healthy communication, for resolving disagreements, for giving and receiving feedback. In addition, the Suttas describe or outline what makes for happy people and point to how we ourselves can realize such happiness. In this program we will examine several such suttas and reflect on how we as human beings can use the practice and the teachings to more successfully live together in harmony. The program is an ISPP Continuation Module for alumni of the Integrated Study and Practice program, and will include meditation practice, lecture and discussion, Dhamma talks, and small group discussion.
