An Intermediate-level course based on
The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma, Volume One
Students are encouraged to obtain a copy of the book, The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma, Volume One
We will closely follow the text, exploring topics such as: the "frozen space of ego," the pain of samsara or cyclic existence, and the possibility of liberation through taking refuge and through the three trainings: discipline, meditation and insight. Our discussions will emphasize joining our understanding of the course material with our meditation practice.
We are committed to making our programs affordable to all, and we endeavor to set the course fee at a rate that covers necessary expenses. We rely on donations to cover additional program costs. Please consider offering an additional amount to offset program expenses. Thank you for your contribution.
Those with limited income please note the student/fixed income option.
