Voices of Insight
Instructor: Helen Rosen
Dates: Thursdays, Sep 28-Dec 7
No Class: Nov 23
Time: 10:00 AM-11:30 AM
Location: Online via Zoom
This course is based on a set of readings contained in the volume Voices of Insight, edited by Sharon Salzberg. We shall read chapters of the book and examine the Buddhist teachings that they illustrate, for example, how to practice loving-kindness when you are angry, or practicing when you have no time or money. This is a course for those who are already familiar with the basic teachings of the Buddha and would like to explore their application in life more deeply.
Pre-requisite: Students should have taken either Buddhist Psychology, Core Concepts in Buddhism or be familiar with the basic ideas of Buddhism.
Maximum online registrants: 100

Notes
Why when I’m registering do I join the Wait List?
Several of our courses are in high demand. In order to accommodate our members who are not tech-savvy and have trouble registering online, we created a registration system in which there is no advantage to registering early, no disadvantage to registering later.
When registering, you join the Wait List for each course. Don’t be alarmed. This does not mean the course is full. After the registration period is over, we run a lottery on the courses, and it randomly determines who is admitted to each course and who is not. You typically will receive notification regarding which courses you are admitted to, about two weeks before the start of the semester. If a course accepts 150 or more students, you are very likely to get into it.
