Remote Daoist Scripture Study

Join us for a remote Daoist scripture study (jīngxué 經學) session. Each 1.5 hour class opens with background on the Daoist text being studied, followed by reading and discussion of specific chapters and/or passages. For this reason, participants will need a copy of the associated text. Please note that these meetings are held in real-time, without recordings. No prior experience necessary. All are welcome.
