Zen is a word that’s tossed about to describe just about everything from gardens to spa treatments to blissed-out mystical experiences. So what is Zen? The heart of Zen goes beyond words and phrases. It’s a direct, felt experience of life, precious moment after precious moment, eternal breath by eternal breath. This four-week introductory course will offer a concise history of Zen, its teachings and practice, and includes a wide breadth of articles to provide support for your learning of key Buddhist concepts.
