COURSE DESCRIPTION

Exploring concepts that help us develop patience, curiosity, and generosity will be taught through a combination of scholarship and practical strategies. These concepts have long been taught as part of Buddhist thought and can help us apply those teachings to our contemporary lives. Buddhist precepts can be seen as fostering community and enhancing our sense of belonging and well-being.
