This Wednesday evening class series will look at sutras. Senior Practitioners and Dharma Rain Teachers will be presenting some of their favorite teachings from the sutras, so there will be a lot of variety. At that, it will be only a taste of each sutra and a small sample of all of the sutras out there. Still, we hope to get into some depth and have some good discussion and an enhanced understanding of the richness of the teachings in Buddhism. Here are the dates.

March 11 – Ko’in – Intro to sutras; a few short suttas from Pali Canon
March 18 – Jiko – Precious Garland Sutra
March 25 – Genko – Avatamsaka Sutra
April 1 – Ko’in – Surangama Sutra
April 8 – Kakumyo – Kalita Sutta
April 22 – Daigai – Metta Sutta
April 29 – Zonnyo – Platform Sutra

All Wednesday night classes are open to the public. There is no charge, though donations are gratefully accepted.
