Up until this time, this site has had its primary purpose as a support site for the classes I’ve taught at the University of Cincinnati’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. I’ll be teaching those again next winter, and they will follow closely (although there will certainly be changes) the syllabi published for this year’s courses:

• The Teachings of the Buddha
• Important Topics in Mainstream Buddhism

The site has been hosted in the dharmastudy.net domain. I am in the process of trying, once again, to establish a network of Dharma Study Centers, and I’ve decided to use the umbrella name Dharma Study Network (earlier versions of the idea used the term “New Dharma Center”, which Stephen Batchelor has convinced me is misleading and misled). So I’ve commandeered the dharmastudy.net domain for the Wiki in which that idea will find expression.

At the same time, since I won’t be teaching again for another year, and since I have lots of things I’ve written and plan to write about the study of the Buddhadharma, I decided to move these writings to the dharmastudy.org domain and work it as a more standard blog site.

So, for those of you interested in following along, replace any bookmark that linked this site to dharmastudy.net and replace it with one to http://dharmastudy.org. And if you want to make sure you don’t miss anything, subscribe to the blog’s RSS feed, which will be updated every time there’s a new post. I hope to keep everything here moving along at a fairly spritely pace, with one or two posts per week; I’d welcome your comments.
