Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Dharma,
We have completed Semester One of the course, *Ancient Path, Modern Mind: Chinese Buddhism in a Changing World*, with Venerable You Min.
We are pleased to announce that Semester Two will begin in January 2026. In this upcoming semester, you will have the opportunity to explore three core themes under the guidance of Venerable You Min:
1. The foundational sutras and treatises that shaped Chinese Buddhism
2. The cycle of Buddhist festivals and their rituals
3. The lived life of the monastic order in relation to society
Students are invited to cultivate focus, compassion, and balance through study and shared practice.
We look forward to having you with us in Semester Two of the course!
