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’ve learned, we are opening our virtual doors to all comers for the next class – due to start in September, 2023.
