This past winter I’ve been invigorated by listening to a series of talks by the heterodox Buddhist scholar and practitioner Stephen Bachelor (“Buddhism Without Beliefs,” “Verses from the Center,” and “Confessions of a Buddhist Atheist”). Inspired by Bachelor’s pragmatic approach to the Buddha’s most basic teachings about day-to-day living, this three-session class will examine the three aspects of the Eightfold Path: clear comprehension (skillful understanding and skillful intention), non-harming activity (skillful speech, skillful action, and skillful livelihood), and cultivated awareness (skillful effort, skillful mindfulness, and skillful concentration). Participants are welcome to attended any and all of the sessions.
