On the 8th of January 2025 we will begin a new series of 13 FREE fortnightly studies, concentrating this time upon the Essays chapter in The Unhindered Path: Ruminations on Shin Buddhism, by Rev John Paraskevopolous.

Throughout this course that concludes on the 11th of June 2025, associated text will be uploaded fortnightly to our STUDY PROGRAM page. On the eve of a new session, the text on the study page will be transfered to the DHARMA ARCHIVE page - and what you see on the study page will always relate to the current study session.
