A traditional way of learning Buddhism is called Anguttara, ‘adding one’ – wherein the teachings of the Buddha are presented numerically in increasing order, such as the Three Poisons, the Four Noble Truths, and the Five Aggregations. This 10-week course uses a similar method of interlocking systems of ideas to explore fundamental Buddhist concepts and their interrelations. The ideas presented in each week’s session increase in complexity and build on previous session topics, thus 'turning the Dharma wheel.’ This course also introduces early Buddhist texts, modern interpretations of Buddhist practice, and the transcendent applicability of Buddhism.
This is the first part of a series of courses that are the foundation of the Lotus Underground School of Buddhism. Don’t miss this opportunity to join the 2024 freshman class!
