Buddhism for Beginners
Buddhism Made Simple
Introducing key Buddhist practices and concepts. Useful whether you are religious or not, with an emphasis on applying ancient wisdom to modern life.
These short courses focus on aspects of Buddhist philosophy as it applies to our daily life – setting up a daily practice, integrating a Buddhist world-view, and ancient wisdom for topical modern issues. The challenge is to make our study not just academic, but immediately relevant so that we can start transforming our life right away!
Using modern examples, inspiring quotes, and our own lived experience, discover how to bridge the teachings of the Buddha and our modern, hectic lifestyle. We don’t need to change anything ‘out there’ to live a rich and fulfilling life, we just need to bring wisdom and kindness to our inner experience.
