Never Forget the Hinayana!
This class is a facilitated discussion group, though we will discuss aspects of more challenging material, if warranted. Each week, we will read assigned sections of the first volume, and discussion questions will be posted before the following class.
FORMAT After five minutes of meditation together, we will have a five to ten-minute summary of the week’s readings in case you didn’t get through it!) and then move to group conversation. This format allows for a personal approach with plenty of room for humor, and practical, kitchen-sink analysis.
INTENT: We will make our way through the material together, which encourages insight that one might not discover when reading on one’s own. We may finish Parts One and Two by the last class, with the intention to offer more in the spring of 2018, so that we can continue.
