Sukhasiddhi Sundays
Registration is open for our next series of Sukhasiddhi Sundays – Embracing Life with the Heart of Wisdom: Teachings on the Two Truths.
This 6 Sunday series is an opportunity for both new and experienced practitioners to come together in community. Join us to study the teachings and practices of Vajrayana Buddhism in a down-to-earth and accessible way.
Dharma Training Program
Sukhasiddhi Foundation’s Dharma Training Program is a study program introducing the principles and practices foundational to Vajrayana Buddhism. Applications for the next module are due September 30, 2021.
In this course, we will progressively deepen our understanding by exploring the Two Truths in the context of each of the Buddhist philosophical schools. Each class will include silent meditation, inquiry and discussion, and guidance for how to allow the teachings to steep in your experience between classes, becoming a lived understanding.
