Discovering Buddhism

	Venerable Kaye Miner

Discovering Buddhism on Monday evenings

The aim of the Discovering Buddhism Program is to give participants a solid footing in the practice of Mahayana Buddhism. By engaging in this program, participants will gain an experiential taste of Buddha’s teachings, meditation retreat experience and the skills they need to make their lives most meaningful.
The full course program covers fourteen main subjects which provide a solid overview of Tibetan Buddhism. The subjects are taught per module, and each module can be followed individually. (Other modules of this course are taught in Dutch in Amsterdam on Wednesday evenings, in Emst and in Breda.)

For more details on the full program, see Discovering Buddhism or Ontdek het boeddhisme.

Dharmabeschermers and Djindaks (members of the Maitreya Instituut) receive a 10% discount on this program.
