The Pali Suttas are considered the earliest words of Shakyamuni Buddha, memorized by the monks and passed on through word of mouth for several generations before being written down.

This body of literature includes many different types of teachings - a favorite type for me is when the Buddha addresses lay people whom he meets serendipitously on his travels.  I'll share a little historical background, but the main time of the class will be reading the suttas (one per class) aloud and sharing our responses.

The class will be on three Monday nights, 7:15 to 8:45, August 7, 14, and 21.  The suggested donation is $30, or whatever you can afford. Note that this class will be online only.
