THREE JEWELS OF BUDDHISM

The next series of Monday evening (7:00 - 9:00 p.m.) classes at the Shambhala Center will focus on the Three Jewels and Taking Refuge.

The course will explore the Three Jewels of Buddhism—the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha—particularly as they relate to our outer world. our body, speech and mind, and taking refuge.

This course qualifies as preparatory study for taking the Refuge Vow with Acharya Eric Spiegel on February 21. However, one does not have to take the Refuge Vow to participate in the classes. All are welcome to just come to learn more. The course is also open to those who have taken Refuge Vows, and who want to deepen their understanding and offer their practice for others.

If you would like to take the Refuge Vow, but cannot attend the classes, please email us at smgcolumbus@gmail.com so we can make alternative arrangements.

 

SCHEDULE:

Monday, January 25: The Buddha

Monday, February 1: The Dharma

Monday, February 8: The Sangha

(Optional) Monday, Feburary 11: Possible additional Q & A class for those planning/considering taking the Refuge Vow

Suggested donation is $10 for the series. (Money should not be an obstacle to studying the Dharma, so please donate as you can or are inspired.)

The reading list will be sent to those planning to attend the class. Please contact us at smgcolumbus@gmail.com if you'd like to receive the reading list and updates on this course.
