For those who are serious about liberation — or “the heart’s sure release” (as the Buddha called it) — the importance of having a solid grounding in Dharma teachings cannot be overemphasized.
The feedback about Satipañña Insight Meditation Toronto’s Dharma Home Study Program has been very positive. Here is a sampling:
‘How wonderful to investigate the Dharma. The readings were very well chosen. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to participate.’
‘Being able to study the Dharma with a group of like-minded friends was extremely helpful. The light, joyful, open atmosphere was very pleasant.’
‘I really feel I got a taste of the Dharma. The study program helped me understand Dharma as never before. The balance of meditation, group discussions, questions and answers, and socializing was ideal.’
