How the day unfolds
In the spirit of this year’s Vesak celebrations, we will explore Bhikkhu Bodhi’s anthology chapter by chapter.
Every participant will:
• Read an assigned chapter thoroughly beforehand
• Give a relaxed 10–20 minute presentation (summary + key passages + your personal insights)
• Facilitate a short 10-minute group discussion

No PowerPoint nor handouts required.
Just your knowledge, enthusiasm, and the shared joy of studying the Dhamma together.

Whether you join us at the monastery in Freising or participate online from anywhere in the world, this is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your understanding of the Buddha’s guidance for a harmonious society — and to build community in the process.

Ready to participate?
Contact Bhikkhu Thitadhammo at info@bodhi-vihara.org to register and receive your assigned chapter.

We look forward to studying and growing together in the light of the Buddha’s teachings! 🙏
