The Path to True Wealth and Security: The Study of Two Suttas in the Suttanipāta
with David Lorey, Kim Allen, Diana Clark and Ying Chen
Two days in one week
Tues Jan 17, 8:30-10:100am Pacific
Thurs Jan 19, 8:30-10:100am Pacific
What is true wealth and security? In this class, we will explore the Dhaniya Sutta (Sn 1:2) and the Snake Sutta (Sn 1:1) of the Suttanipāta, which feature the theme of protection and release in the household and spiritual life. These verse teachings include evocative metaphors and poetic language that point toward deep concerns of human life and the path to Awakening. The class will include dharmettes, guided meditations, Q&A, and small group discussion.
The Sati Center’s Study-and-Practice series combines explorations of the discourses from Early Buddhism with ways of applying these teachings to meditation and daily life.
Taught by four friends who wish to share their love of studying the texts and practicing together with others, the courses focus on either individual suttas or on themes that emerge from a collection of suttas.
Details for this course and registration information can be found on the Sati Center website here.
The teaching team is Ying Chen, Diana Clark, David Lorey and Kim Allen.
The course will be offered via Zoom and is sponsored by the Sati Center.
