Course Description

Your On Ramp to a clear and thorough understanding of the Buddha's logical and reasonable teachings without any religious trappings. You won't find any conflict with your current faith, in fact, the Buddha's teachings can complement and illuminate your understanding. The Buddha wasn't searching for enlightenment or trying to start a religion. His whole mission was to investigate the causes of human suffering, emotional, physical, and psychological. His insights and realizations still ring true today and have helped literally millions of people over the centuries. In the West, these teachings are fairly new and have been misunderstood by many. This is not mystical or esoteric but straightforward common sense and we mean to show it this way.
