New Course on the Beatitudes Runs April 14 to May 26

The Beatitudes

New Course on the Beatitudes with Luk and Lilian– via Zoom – Wednesdays at 5pm, from 4/14 – 5/26

Following in the steps of the course on the Universal Christ, we are now offering a course on the Beatitudes. All the great wisdom traditions have a teaching about True Happiness which takes us both to the particular heart of each religion as well as to the essential unity of vision they share. The Christian idea of happiness is epitomized in the Beatitudes found in Jesus’ great Sermon on the Mount. We will be guided by the book Happiness Here and Now by Elizabeth West. The author looks at the Beatitudes from a Christian perspective but includes at the same time the way a Buddhist, whose perspective she has a deep empathy with, can look at the Beatitudes. Learning to see the familiar with freshness and new wonder is to expand our minds and enrich our hearts. We will provide the reading materials, as the book is out of print and not available anywhere (except maybe a library). Please let Lilian know if you are interested in joining this course. lrevel@trinitynewhaven.org or pastoralcare@trinitynewhaven.org
