About this Course

In June 2011, seven SNC students and two faculty members will travel with the Truckee, CA-based Bodhi Tree Foundation to deliver pre/postnatal vitamins and medical supplies to the women of Humla, the most remote region of Nepal, deep in the western Himalayas. This trip will be the center of two courses each student will complete; the students will gain traditional academic and real-world knowledge of Service Learning as well as Nepali art and culture. In addition to our service, we will visit many significant cultural and religious monuments for both Buddhists and Hindus. Join us as we prepare for this adventure of a lifetime.

Teaching at Kopan Monastery Confirmed!

This is very exciting--we will have a teaching from the senior geshe at Kopan (Geshe means, roughly, PhD in Buddhist theology) about the meaning of Saga Dawa Festival about one week before we attend the festival in Raling. We will study to prepare questions for this meeting so we can learn as much as possible!

Dear Erika,
Thank you for your email.
I am happy to confirm that Geshe Sherab, our senior geshe, will be available to talk to your group on the 7th or 8th June.
Please confirm the date  and time, and also number of participants closer to the time.
With best wishes
Fran
