Overview of the Buddhist Path It is said that the path is both study and practice. The Berkeley Shambhala Center regularly hosts core study classes, and weekend teachings by visiting teachers. In combination with ongoing practice students can cultivate the view of Buddhadharma which is so crucial to ones progress. Please refer to our latest issue of the banner, and our programs section.

It is said that "the dharma is good in the beginning, good in the middle and good in the end". From the first experience of relaxing on the cushion and allowing oneself to just be, the practitioner can discover the goodness of dharma, both within him or herself and in the world.The path of the practitioner of dharma is rich with opportunities for self-examination and discovery. Beginning with looking at one's own experience directly in meditation, the practitioner learns about the ways the mind works. Through meditation, the practitioner penetrates confusion to experience the naturalness of being awake. Through studying the wisdom of the lineage, the great practitioners dating back to the Buddha, the student is challenged and inspired to discover a direct view of the nature of mind and reality. While there are many opportunities to join with others on the path for practice and study, the journey is personal. |
