Buddhism Beyond Belief

Buddhist wisdom can provide indestructible insight into how to live a life of compassion, wisdom, and bravery—even (or especially) during unprecedented times. 

The Open Heart Project was created to share these teachings with you and It is one of the great privileges of my life to be able to do so.

During this program, we will look at teachings from the three main cycles of Buddhist wisdom. We will not study them only to understand them, but to live them. The focus will be to help you to bring it all to life at home, in relationships, and in our speedy, spinning world.

Please remember: this course is not to memorize or analyze facts about our chosen topics but to arrive at personal understanding by living them. Our guiding question about each topic will not be “what does this mean?” but “what does this mean to me?”

Throughout the program, there will be options to share your thoughts via written essays and special break-out groups on Saturday mornings (local time). Each Saturday session will be peer led.  Though these gatherings are optional, my guess is they will provide a great forum for bringing our course material down to earth in a personal way.
