Virtual Forum: Exploring Wellbeing Economies

21st Century Dharma with the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies

Dharma is a concept that underlies Buddhist and Hindu practice. It provides guidance on how to navigate the world – whether you’re meditating under a tree or trying to create an ethical life in the 21st century. Over 3 virtual sessions, we will examine how Indian thought traditions have understood dharma in the original texts and how much of this is practical in a modern context. Beginning with an overview of dharma, we will examine the applicability of dharmic ideas in the here-and-now before discussing dharma and the greatest issue facing us all – environmental change.
