Meditation: The Path Of The Buddha

We will be masterfully guided in the understanding and technique of meditation as it was presented by the Buddha himself. Each class includes a seminal video talk by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a period of meditation, and ample time for discussion. Readings from The Path Is the Goal: A Handbook of Buddhist Meditation will accompany the course.
