After Buddhism: SBN’s online course for exploring a secular dharma

Untitled

.
by SBN Editor

The Tuwhiri Project and the Secular Buddhist Network have created a free online course which explores the key ideas and practices of secular Buddhism, an important trend that has emerged in western Buddhism in recent years. This online course is mainly based on Stephen Batchelor’s recent book, After Buddhism: rethinking the dharma for a secular age, and the companion book published by The Tuwhiri Project, After Buddhism: a workbook, by Winton Higgins.

This online course provides an opportunity for secular Buddhists and those curious about secular Buddhism to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of a secular approach to the dharma.

The key objectives of the course are to:

  1. identify and explain the key concepts of secular Buddhism
  2. compare secular Buddhism with traditional, institutional forms of Buddhism
  3. sketch a vision of secular Buddhist practice for individuals and communities

 

Course Leader

The course is presented by Mike Slott, the editor of the Secular Buddhist Network. Mike is a part-time lecturer in labor history at Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA, and a long-time political and labor movement activist who began a meditation practice in 2010. He is a member of and practice leader at New York Insight.
