Mahayana and Zen Buddhism:

Avatamsaka Sutra Meditation Lectures with Dr. Martin Verhoeven
Fridays at 11:15pm (Eastern) via Youtube (DharmaRealmLive)  (or in person at Dharma Realm Buddhist University)
The class will examine the practices and path set forth by the Avatamsaka Sutra, or Flower Ornament Sutra, which describes a cosmos of infinite realms upon realms, mutually containing one another.

The text touches on various topics such as the Bodhisattva path, the interpenetration of phenomena (dharmas), the visionary powers of meditation and the equality of things in emptiness.

Avatamsaka Sutra Tenth Ground Lectures with Ven. Heng Sure
Saturdays at 10:30pm (Eastern)  via Youtube (DharmaRealmLive)  (or in-person at Gold Coast Dharma Realm Monastery in Queensland, Australia or Berkeley Buddhist Monastery)

Every Saturday evening at 7:30 PM (PST) the Berkeley Monastery community gathers to listen to a lecture on the Flower Adornment Sutra. We investigate the sutra text line by line and endeavor to bring its ancient wisdom up to date for our modern lives in the 21st century. The Sutras point directly to the path of liberation from suffering. Our founder, Ven. Master Hsuan Hua began the work of lecturing on Mahayana sutras in the West in 1969; carrying on this legacy keeps the teachings of the Bodhisattva Path alive as an oasis of clarity and kindness in our contemporary world. Lectures are made available online through webcast.

Did you know that there are many free meditation sessions every day around Atlanta? Just as no two people are identical and may have different affinities, there are thousands of Buddhist meditation methods to help us purify our mind. So many different schools of Buddhism are represented here in Georgia - Chan / Zen Meditation at places like Dharma Jewel Monastery and Jun Dung Sa Temple; Insight / Vipassana Meditation at Georgia Buddhist Vihara; Mindfulness Meditation Society at Kim Cang Monastery; Compassion Meditation at Emory University; Tibetan Buddhism under the auspices of His Holiness the Dalai Lama at Drepung Loseling Monastery and so forth -- check out our listing here! We even have it sorted by day of the week and by group / center.
