This 27 class structured study will define and explain the only meditation method Siddartha Gotama developed and taught. Jhana Meditation resting on Four Foundations of Mindfulness is the foundation and keystone of the Buddha’s Dhamma. When properly developed, Jhana mediation will develop profound levels of concentration. It is through ever-deepening concentration that integrating the entire Eightfold Path as a cohesive and direct Dhamma practice becomes possible and achievable.
