Introduction to Buddhism

East Cobb 2nd and 4th Mondays at 7pm

Donations are welcomed.

Starting in February, Kelsang Nyema will be teaching and facilitating discussion from the book Introduction to Buddhism, by her root teacher, world-renowned Buddhist master, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Twenty-five hundred years after the passing of Buddha, his message continues to resonate. Introduction to Buddhism explains the essential principles of the Buddhist way of life and what it means to be a Buddhist. Meditation is explained clearly and simply as a tool for developing qualities such as inner peace, love, and patience. Those developing an interest in Buddhism and meditation will find this book an ideal guide.
