Discovering BUDDHISM at Home
is a dynamic program of study and meditation that provides participants with a solid footing in the practice of Mahayana Buddhism.  This program is designed to change your life and not merely as an academic study of Buddhism.  By engaging in this program, you will gain an experiential taste of the Buddha's teachings, some retreat experience, and the skills you need to make your life most meaningful.

4. THE SPITRITUAL TEACHER
This fourth of fourteen subject areas of the Discovering BUDDHISM at Home program investigates the role of the teacher on the spiritual path: the need for a teacher, the qualities of the teacher as well as the student, and how to relate to a teacher in order you to gain the greatest benefit in your spiritual life.  This module will help you to consider the challenges we face when thinking of entering into a "guru-disciple" relationship and to learn how to deal with these skillfully.
