In this group study, we will explore concise overviews of key Mahāyāna topics to taste the richness and practical relevance of the Buddha’s teachings in daily life, while appreciating the ingenuity and upāya-kauśalya (skillful means) of Dharma teachers across the centuries.
Together we will survey essential Mahāyāna themes in short, accessible modules, applying them to contemporary life and honoring the lineage of compassionate, skillful instruction. As a path grounded in boundless compassion (karuṇā) and deep wisdom (prajñā), the Mahāyāna guides us to benefit beings while realizing emptiness (śūnyatā) without losing care for the world.
Registration is required for onsite sessions.
