It is the foundation on which all fourtee n modules of Discovering Buddhism are built. \nEach session of this course will be delivered to support real engagement and application\, giving stu dents the chance to work directly with the teachings rather than to simply hear them. Guidance will be offered on the mechanisms behind meditation i tself\, so that students can use this understanding to deepen their practi ce and maintain stability and consistency in daily life. \nThe course is o pen to beginners and taught with enough depth to enrich senior students as well. Students may join the cycle at any point\, but the early session is the ideal place to begin. Under  Venerable Yönten’s guidance\, this f ourteen-part\, consecutive journey offers a rare chance to walk the comple te path with a single skilled teacher from start to finish. Don’t miss t his opportunity.
