New book starting Sunday June 3

Starting Sunday 3 we will be using a new book as a focus of Dhamma talks and teachings. We will be using another book by Vipassana teacher Gil Fronsdal called The Buddha before Buddhism: Wisdom from the Early teachings. This book focuses on a set of early Buddhist Suttas called the Atthakavagga, or the Book of Eights. The sections we will cover will be posted on the web site, and some limited physical copies will be made available. The Suttas contain several verses, and each is numbered. That numbering is what is listed on the calendar (along with chapter and page numbers).
