Introduction to Buddhism
The teachings of Buddha, called Dharma, are easy to understand yet extremely profound. Buddhist philosophy helps us understand our various states of mind and overcome those that cause pain and problems. Each class will begin with a brief meditation followed by a teaching, Q&A, and conclude with a meditation. Participants will learn how to incorporate basic Buddhist teachings into dailylife, transforming the negative state of mind into a more positive outlook.
