A Day of Sutta Study on the Buddha’s First Three Discourses

Friday, August 6, 9am to 5pm

The entirety of the Buddha’s teaching is encapsulated in the first three discourses he delivered after his enlightenment. In this day of study we will cover all three suttas in detail, exploring how they weave together to inform each other and create a complete description of Dharma teaching and practice.
