Instructor

Kevin McCounaghy, a practitioner of Buddhist dharma for more than a decade and one of the senior Tantric students at Rime Shedrub Ling. Jon Dilley will serve as the teaching assistant.

Course Description

One of the most practical and beneficial beliefs in the world, Buddhism is more than just a Religion of Kindness, it is a belief that by exploring the vast depths of our own consciousness we can truly find peace and liberate ourselves from the prison of afflictive emotions. This is a great seven week class for those new to the Dharma, and has a less academic focus than other Shedra classes.
