Buddhism - Introductory series

The nature of reality & central insights of Buddhist wisdom

If you are interested in knowing more about Buddhism, there are many ways to start exploring. Some of the basic questions are ones like: What is Enlightenment? Who was the Buddha? What did he teach? And perhaps the most important question of all is how can you test what the Buddha taught to see if it is true and helpful for you?

We help you find answers to these question during this course but there is more than one way in. The Buddha himself taught in terms of a three-fold practice: ethics, meditation and wisdom. All the different Buddhist traditions recognize this basic division and exploring any one of these three leads you inevitably into reflections and considerations of the other two.

We will start this four week course with an introduction to some basic Buddhist principles and definitions. The sort of information which helps you understand what makes a Buddhist a Buddhist, rather than something else.

Although we will cover a series of topics there will also be plenty of time for personal questions. The objective of the course is to help introduce you to Buddhism, and attending to any questions you might have along the way is important.
