A one-day introduction to the richness of the Pali language and its potential for complementing and enriching one’s meditative practice and deepening one’s relationship to the Buddha’s teachings. While the dhamma in its 84,000 parts lies in the heart and not on any printed page, the Pali language has been and remains a potent vehicle for those who would make use of it. Its texts are not only the closest approximations to the Buddha’s teachings in their original formulations, but also the concrete vestiges of those who have most thoroughly realized those teachings within their own body, speech, and mind. The workshop will incorporate both scholarly and experiential approaches as we learn, recite, and imbibe the Buddha’s teachings in their original wording and attempt together to evoke their living meaning.
