Essence of Buddhism Study Group

Lama Eric Triebelhorn leads a study group via Zoom on the Second & Fourth Thursdays of the month on The Essence of Buddhism by Traleg Kyabgon. This book discusses many of the foundational aspects of Buddhism, written by a deeply trained Tibetan teacher who spent many years teaching in the West. The study group includes brief presentations of the material, small group conversations, and sharing in the larger group.

The group began on August 10, 2023, but particpants are welcome to join anytime. Please email to be added to the Essence of Buddhism email group and receive additional materials, updates for each week’s session, and other information from Lama Eric.

This study group temporarily takes the place of the long running Mind Training Study Group that Tim Campbell has facilitated for the past 10 years. The Mind Training Study Group will resume once we have concluded with the Essence of Buddhism text.
