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. |
