Comments from previous participants
I can recommend Discovering Buddhism to anyone who has an interest in Buddhism, both beginners and those who have been hanging around for a while.
The course feels solid and in-depth, good design with modules.
I especially appreciated our fine group, many rewarding conversations and reflections.
Good course and sense of community, meditations of various kinds, good discussions to understand the teaching with an experienced and knowledgeable teacher. You can be a beginner and keep up, so it’s been very rewarding.
