Five Mondays, 5:30 – 6:30 pm PT

In this five-week online course we will survey all three branches of Buddhism: early Buddhism, Mahayana, and Vajrayana, with an emphasis on key people in Buddhist history, and what Buddhist art can teach us about expression of the Path.

Join Ayya Dhammadipa, hosted by San Francisco Zen Center, for this whirlwind tour of the Buddhist world.

Each class will consist of a pre-recorded lecture with a weekly live discussion on Zoom. For the first session, our readings include excerpts—chapters 9, 10, and 13—from A Meditator's Life of the Buddha by Bhikkhu Analayo, available at this link for purchase through the SFZC Online Store.

Each class will consist of a pre-recorded lecture with a weekly live discussion on Zoom.
