Dharma Talks
How to Practice: An Online Course (February
2008-2009)
In February of 2008, Ani Christine
will launch an experimental web seminar. While remaining in remote
retreat, she will deliver dharma talks for the course via digital
voice recordings downloadable from the Internet. Her students,
who are located across continents, will come together via a blog,
using that online forum to respond to the teachings and learn
from each other. This course is open by invitation to qualified
students. For more information, contact skardahtp@gmail.com
Course Description:
Ani Christine will provide commentary on H.H. the Dalai Lama's
book How to Practice and offer guidance for engaging in the practices
it contains. His Holiness says the essential objective of our
daily practice is to cultivate an attitude of compassion and
calm. We'll study the introduction and each of the chapters sequentially,
gradually deepening our understanding of the basics of Buddhist
practice and of the nature of reality in order to create a deeper
sense of this calmness and peace of mind in our daily life. This
seminar takes place over the course of a year, allowing plenty
of time for us to think about the teachings, discuss them, and
integrate them into our meditation practice. |
