The Noble Eightfold Path: 10 week course
Submitted by admin on Fri, 08/14/2015 - 19:58"We say that the path is the most important element in the Buddha's teaching because the path is what makes the Dhamma available to us as a living experience. Without the path the Dhamma would just be a shell, a collection of doctrines without inner life. Without the path, full deliverance from suffering would become a mere dream." - Bhikkhu Bodhi

Remembering Death
Submitted by admin on Tue, 06/02/2015 - 20:10June 27, 2015, 9am-4:30pm with Robert Beatty.
This retreat, focused on the reality of life and death, was initially scheduled for February. It was preempted by the passing away of my teacher Ruth Denison. I had the privilege of being present with Ruth through her last breath and cremation. This experience, and the ongoing realizations concerning life-and-death make the importance of this subject even more clear to me.
