Dharma Study Program

It has long been an aspiration for the DTO to offer our Dharma Studies Course online. For a variety of reasons it did not come to pass until the pandemic forced us to move to virtual practices.

In 2022-2023 all our sanghas combined and jointly ran the course as one combined online sangha. It was an amazing success! Based on what we learned, we refined our approached and opened our virtual doors to all comers for the 2023-2024 class.

The response was heartwarming. We are now well into the year with a wonderful group of students, mentors, and other friends on the path.

Applications for 2024-2025 will open in early summer 2024!

The application window for the 2023-2024 Dharma Studies Class offered by The Buddhist Institute closed at the end of August, 2023. We thank all prospective applicants for considering joining our cohort of students and mentors as we explore the Dharma

We plan to open the Dharma Studies Class application window for the 2024-2025 academic year in early summer of 2024. The class’ curriculum runs in a four year cycle, but no year is a prerequisite for another, so you are free to join in at any time. We will be on year two of our curriculum, covering the Buddha’s teachings on meditation practices, based on the Anapanasati, Satipatthana Sutras, and other works.
