The Foundations of Buddhism
By Rupert Gethin

Buddhism is a vast and complex religious and philosophical tradition with a history that stretches over 2,500 years. In this book, Rupert Gethin investigates the ideas and practices which constitute the common heritage of the different traditions of Buddhism (Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana) that exist in the world today. From the story of the Buddha, the interaction between the monastic and lay ways of life, the four noble truths, the cosmology of karma and rebirth, ethics and meditation this book provides a stimulating presentation of Buddhism.

This book discussion will be led by Robert Pryor and held via zoom as well as in person at the Dharma Center.
