2021 Buddhist Wisdoms and Realms series - The God Realm and the Jealous God Realm

The teacher for this class is TBD.  Registration available at a later date.

2021 Buddhist Wisdoms and Realms series

This will be a year long study of the 5 Buddha Families (wisdom) and the 6 Realms in preparation for the culminating event of the reading of the Tibetan Book of the Dead which incorporates these teachings. Each class will be a stand alone class or taken as a series. The class will be the third Saturday of the month unless there is a conflict. If you can not take the series, no worries, each class can be considered as a stand alone.

To honor our local traditions, an ofrenda will be a part of the final event to celebrate the traditional Mexican Día de Muertos.
