Most of the stories about the Buddha take place outside. His Awakening took place beneath a tree, he walked everywhere, and many of his discourses were given beneath a canopy of leaves. In this introductory class, we will explore some of the mythic imagery and nature themes in the Buddha's story. We will look at how these themes unfold in his teaching, and explore their relevance to us now. Participants will learn basic Buddhist meditation and helpful, practical teachings that remain vital to this day. A vegetarian lunch is included in the cost. Suitable for all levels of experience, including beginners.
