Permanent Training in Buddhist Studies

Description

Boeddhisme is een drijvende kracht in vele regio’s van de wereld. Toch blijven vele aspecten daarvan onderbelicht. Dat is zeker zo wanneer het gaat om dagelijkse praktijken, om mensen nu en vroeger die boeddhisme in hun dagelijks leven verwerken. Dit is de rode draad doorheen deze lezingenreeks. Voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in religies van de wereld!

Buddhism is a driving force in many regions of the world. Yet many aspects of it remain unknown. This is especially true when it comes to everyday praxis, to people now and in the past who incorporate Buddhism into their daily lives. This is the common thread throughout this lecture series. For anyone interested in religions of the world!

Deze opleiding is een initiatief van het Ghent Centre for Buddhist Studies
