Study Groups

Discussing the teachings of the Buddha helps us deepen our understanding of the Dharma and strengthen our bonds with other Sangha members. This website was create to provide the structure to support such discussions within the MSB community. Please contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.

Required Study Groups

Required study groups are designed to support practitioners as they progress through each phase of practice outlined in the MSB Study and Practice Manual. These discussion groups are led by senior MSB students and provide pertinent information related to each phase of practice. MSB students are required to participate in specific discussion groups before progressing to a new phase of practice. Read more.
