A Course in the The Middle Length Discourses with Bhikkhu Bodhi
CARMEL, Upstate New York - This is an in-depth study of an important set of sutras.
These sacred Buddhist texts were compiled as The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha (Majjhima Nikaya) and translated into English by Ven. Nanamoli and Bhikkhu Bodhi (Wisdom Publications).
The class starts at 9:00 am with a 50-minute silent meditation in the library near the lake.
This is followed at 10:00 am by a talk on a sutra (sutta, a teaching, a discourse of the Buddha) until 11:20 am, with time for questions.
This is followed by a vegetarian/vegan lunch in the CYM Cafeteria for all. A discussion period with Ven. Bodhi is then held after lunch, from 12:15 to 12:45 pm. Newcomers are welcome.
If unable to attend class in person, follow the class by livestream at:
Videos of the class are then posted a week later on YouTube:
