New FWBO Dharma Training Course for Mitras

Today, we're delighted to let you know about the launch of the online site for the new FWBO Dharma Training Course for Mitras. 

The permanent web address to bookmark for the new course is: www.fwbomitracourse.com

The new Dharma Training Course is designed primarily for Mitras ('friends') involved with the FWBO Buddhist community. The course aims to give people in the FWBO a thorough grounding in Dharma study and practice. It also makes an excellent general course for anyone interested in putting Buddhist teaching into practice in their life. 

The first year is now available online, with a full reference section for further context and engagement. We've formatted our .pdf files to print out for use in a study group, and also to make them easy to read, navigate and search on-screen.

The rest of the course is currently being developed by a number of members of the Western Buddhist Order. New modules will be made available as they become ready through 2008 and the beginning of 2009. Check out each year's page for an advance preview of what's in store.

At present, the course is being hosted on Free Buddhist Audio, and you can access it easily from there too via the 'Study' section.

We hope you'll enjoy using the online version of the Course, and that you'll make steady progress in your own Dharma studies.

with best wishes,

The Free Buddhist Audio Team
