Introduction to Buddhism - The Three Jewels

For more than 40 years, the Columbus Karma Thegsum Choling has been teaching meditation to the public for free at its meditation center in Central Ohio. Now we are offering our Dharma Paths series of introductory Buddhsim courses online.

There are nine classes in the series, but you can start anywhere in the series and take the classes in any order. Each class is taught by one of our trained meditation instructors.

This week's class, titled "The Three Jewels", covers the following topics:

-Introduction to the concepts of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.

-Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha as elements of the path followed by the dharma practitioner.

-Buddha Nature as the ground, meditation practice and study as the path, and sangha as the community of student-practitioners who make following the path possible.

There will also be time for questions and discussion.

May all beings benefit!
