Vision and Transformation
This six week course follows on from the Introductory Course in Buddhism and Meditation and offers a lively and systematic introduction to the Eightfold Path. Starting with an emphasis on Vision, it takes relative newcomers though the process of transformation: emotion, imagination, speech, right livelihood, and effort and attention in meditation.
