Periodically, Ken conducts courses on specific topics, such as mahamudra or the four immeasurables. Or he may give a course on a particular text, such as The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva. These courses are recorded and posted on the UM website for everyone, e.g., people who missed a class and want to catch up or people who are unable to attend the course in person and want to follow it.
