This was a perfect course for me. I like the way the teacher combined instruction with the chance to meditate each day. He gave a good summary of Buddhist thought, enough to inspire me to want to learn more. In the last lesson the teacher offered us an example of how to incorporate Buddhist practice, to live like a monk, into our day.

I came to this course with a beginners mind despite practicing the Buddhist path for the past 25 years. It has been refreshing to be reminded of the importance of joyful diligence and I very much enjoyed the final meditation in the series. I look forward to continuing the journey in the service of others. Thank you for making this available.

Thank you for this beautiful course 🙏🏻. I have been on my spiritual journey and regularly meditation for many years and I am still learning. This course brought quite a few new perspectives, for me personally the practice of becoming aware of your awareness and thoughts was the most rewarding, very relaxing and totally new to me. I shall definitely be doing this meditation regularly as it gave me a sense of being more conscious of the whole picture, my surroundings, feeling, thoughts and everything as one inseparable whole.

This course helped my practice advance in so many ways. Understanding the Buddhist principles and view of life was both intellectually and spiritually rewarding. The teachings and associated meditation approaches are practical and make sense. I really feel like I can incorporate them into my daily life. The teacher’s sincerity and depth make the course easy and interesting. I felt more attentive than any course I’ve taken. I look forward to more of his lessons. Pease in, peace out!
