Good questions, wise answers — understanding Mahāyāna Buddhism

Embark on a six-lesson English course exploring Mahāyāna Chinese Buddhism, based on the book “Orthodox Chinese Buddhism”. This literary masterpiece, written by the late Venerable Master Sheng Yan, is known as one of the definitive and most influential books that offer insight into the right thought, beliefs and practices of Mahāyāna Chinese Buddhism.

In each lesson, we will delve into a selection of topics extracted from the text, exploring themes such as “What are orthodox Buddhist beliefs and practices”, “What are the basic dogmas of Buddhism”, where “Buddhism” in the context of the book refers to Mahāyāna prevalent in Chinese communities.

By the end of the course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of basic Mahāyāna beliefs and practices through Q&A sessions and discussions.
