Under the Bodhi Tree: Exploring Buddhist Concepts

Under the Bodhi Tree: Exploring Buddhist Concepts is an introduction of essential Buddhist practices, philosophy, and culture. This program highlights Buddhism’s usefulness in everyday life, and how one should follow these concepts.

There are two Dharma facilitators leading the Dharma session. The session starts with some beginning prayers, followed by a greeting and a brief explanation of the center for any newcomers. This is followed by a simple meditation on the Four Immeasurables, and on the breath technique—calm abiding. Then, a Dharma topic is discussed by the facilitators wherein questions can be asked by participants. The session concludes with dedication prayers.
