Details

Hi our Friends,

Either me or a good Dharma friend is going to share the teachings with people new to Buddhism. Once our life is transformed through the Dharma, we can't keep it to ourselves. Hopefully other Dharma friends will volunteer to share their wisdom too!

Join us and study together! We will have Q&As at the end of the presentation too!

The password for zoom is 426646.

The first 20 minutes I'd like to get to know who is joining our zoom session so please have your camera on. After that, we will record our presentation and Q&A and upload to YouTube for the public. Thank you for your understanding.

If you're interested in learning Buddhism but have a schedule conflict, please email Bita at [email protected]

Our classes are free but our classes & sangha are sustained completely by the dana gratitude contributions of people like you! Dana gratitude donations for our classes are gratefully accepted at https://donorbox.org/purelandschooldonation. Suggested donation for the event is $5 - $20.

Once you finish this basic course, if you'd like to be part of our sangha (community of like-minded friends who are contributing, sustaining members), you're welcome to join our advanced course.

Below is the self-introduction of one of our presenters:

My name is Pam and I am from Nepal. I have been listening to Buddhist teachings, reading books about Buddhism from the sources of what ever was available in my country , I used to listen to Buddhist monks , gurus . In the beginning of 2020 my husband met one sensei through facebook who was teaching Buddhism online so from there we started listening to Buddhism . We listened in daily basis , we had at least one hour session every day where we learned much more than what we had just learned within my country.

Listening to dharma has motivated me in many ways specifically if I could share then it would be being a better person every day. No matter what the world throws at you, no matter how people treat you, no matter what you go through but you make sure that you become a better person.

And listening to dharma /Buddhism has really helped me a lot, understanding life, relationships and more. It is just the beginning I feel there’s much more to go, so the best thing is you listen to dharma and feel more deep.

Be kind have compassion. And one more best thing you can do is sharing it. So that many people can benefit in many ways.

Before I was just growing by age but after listening to dharma I am sincerely grown up now, I have learned how to communicate, apologize, be truthful and accept accountability of my deeds / karma without blaming someone else. I'll be happy if I can share that with you too.
