Buddhism for Daily Life: Insights from ‘Heart Advice from a Foolish Practitioner’
About the Day Course
Join us for a day of learning, reflection, and community, guided by the text “Heart Advice from a Foolish Practitioner: A Song of Liberation.” David wrote these short verses recently while on retreat as a guide for new practitioners exploring the Buddhist path.
During this 4-hour workshop (which will include breaks as needed), David will offer the oral transmission of the text, weaving in relevant commentary to illuminate the meanings of each verse, helping us to connect these ancient teachings to modern life.
Whether you’ve spent some time studying or are new to the path, we hope that this day course will offer valuable perspectives and help you become clear on how to incorporate Buddhist practice into your daily life.
