Open invitation to Sutta Study

Wiki
1

I hope this will be allowed.

I host a sutta study on Thursdays at 8pm central standard time (same as chicago).

We’ve read a lot of majjhima nikāya, a few āgamas, and various other early Buddhist texts. Currently we’re reading the a.t.thakavagga of the sutta nipāta and its Chinese parallel.

We get anywhere from three or four to over ten people.

We read and discuss these texts with no one appointed as a teacher or a spiritual authority

I wish to extend an open invitation to anyone who’s interested in joining

Greetings,

I want to extend the invitation for sundays and we’ve scheduled an irregular meeting for the upcoming saturday 11:30 CT, to analyze Ven. Thanissaro’s recent essay and khandaparinibbana.

Send a message to @Sovatthika for details.
