Sutta Study:
Part Three of the Majjhima Nikaya
Shaila Catherine has
put together a three-year study course on the Middle
Length Discourses of the Buddha, which consists of
150 suttas. Each year fifty suttas are covered, and
this year we will be looking at the final fifty. The
suttas are not in any particular order in the Middle
Length discourses, so it’s not necessary to have
attended the previous year’s courses – all
are welcome. We’ll be reading and studying these
suttas over a nine month period from April through
January, meeting once a month to discuss our
understandings.
If you are interested in
joining, please contact Julie on 348 1462.
Shaila
Catherine has been practicing meditation since 1980,
with seven years of accumulated silent retreat
experience. She has been teaching since 1996, in the
USA, India, Israel, and England. Shaila studied at
the Sharpham College for Buddhist Studies in England,
and dedicated several years to studying with masters
in Asia, including Poonjaji, Buddhadasa Bhikkhu,
Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche and Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. She
completed a one-year intensive mediation retreat in
2004 with the focus on concentration and jhana.
