The Open Buddhist University is an unaccredited, digital resource run by Khemarato Bhikkhu since 2020. Its mission is to provide a free, English-language curriculum in Buddhist Studies from the perspective of Early Buddhism1 to everyone. We hope that you'll find these resources helpful and we welcome your feedback and questions at the email below (at the bottom of every page).
See our sources page for a list of the sources we used to put together the collections.
You can find a video introduction to the website on YouTube here, and can connect with other students of Early Buddhism over at the SuttaCentral: Discuss and Discover{:target="_blank" ga-event-value="0.2"} forum.
Thanks to our contributors for their help building the site.
