Sati Center for Buddhist StudiesSupporting the study of Buddhist teachingsIntroduction to Buddhism Daylong - April 5, 2008 |
Introduction to Buddhism
Taught by Tony Bernhard and Carolyn Dille
Saturday, April 5, 2008
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Location: Insight Meditation Center, 108 Birch St., Redwood City, CA
Note: IMC has changed its address to 108 Birch Street.
Since IMC's front
door faces Birch, the old address caused confusion for newcomers. The new
address remedies this situation, and will also enable emergency services to
quickly locate the front door.
This class will lead beginning and experienced meditators through the tenets of Buddhist teachings, history and tradition. The aim is to provide students with a basic overview and grounding in Buddhist teachings that will help deepen their meditation practice. Topics include: the life of the Buddha, core teachings, history and development of the different schools, the Pali Canon, and traditional meditation practices.
This daylong is offered on a donation basis. Please bring your own lunch.
