Our 4 Programs of Study
THE THREE DHARMA TRAININGS
Depending on your karma and your aspiration there are different paths of dharma teachings. Out of great compassion, the Buddha taught various dharma trainings suitable for different beings. We offer a comprehensive program that works with these teachings for our community members.
BUDDHIST FUNDAMENTALS
The foundation of all Buddhist practices rests in the 4 noble truths and the 8 fold path. The fundamental practices deal with the nature of things as they appear to us. In this way we learn to understand cause and effect, karma, rebirth, the preciousness of a human life, meditative concentration and the importance of cultivating virtue.
THE WAY OF THE BODHISATTVA
The compassionate warrior, the Bodhisattva, is one who fearlessly awakens for the benefit of all beings. In order to benefit all beings, we need to engage with them. This path is very present and works with the world while learning to see through it to our deeper reality. On this path you learn to cultivate unconditional love, compassion and wisdom.
JONANG KALACHAKRA PATH
Come for the classes , stay for the community. There is more to Buddhism them study and practice. Throughout the year we host a variety of community gatherings such as our monthly Kalachackra feast offering to movie nights and volunteer days so that we can get to know each other better.
Buddhism is the Dharma, it’s what the Buddha said. It’s not just a philosophy, not just the science, not just the religious part. All together you can call it Buddhism.
