Online Buddhist Class Birmingham

We alternate between Q/A and brief lectures on traditional Buddhist practice, which also leave time for questions at the end.

As the teacher’s main goal is to help people, we only ask that you attend with a sincere respectful attitude, remain attentive as if you were attending class in person and take notes if possible.

The class size is still relatively small, so your level of interaction depends on the frequency of your questions. Some people prefer to listen, which is fine. However, a certain level of interaction is necessary for the teacher to understand your situation and offer guidance.

While lecture content might be geared more towards painting a clear picture of Buddhist concepts and practice, Q/A content tends to be more practical and meant for immediate application.

The theme of the lecture series is ‘Vajrayana Buddhism’. This is also known as ‘Tibetan Buddhism’ or ‘Esoteric Buddhism’. It's well to note however, that as this is the third set of teachings put forth in the Buddhist trilogy, it necessarily encompasses the previous two teachings.

An honest presentation of the traditional path of practice including an idea of how far you can reasonably expect to get down that path in this lifetime. Insights from a yogi who has encountered all the obstacles you have and transformed them into wisdom.

There should be no distinction between practice and life, all sorts of questions are welcomed. Sometimes our financial situation is creating our obstacles, sometimes it is bereavement, relationships, or just a lack of direction and guidance. Just think about what stopping you from bringing benefit.
