Crossing the Threshold: Our New Name
Our school has a new name: “Appamada.” I did a lot of research about this Pali term, which is the ancient language the Buddha taught in. We are not a Buddhist program, but I am deeply inspired by ancient words in languages like Pali and Sanskrit that have whole spiritual meanings. This is something I heard Joseph Campbell speak about, how these ancient languages have words with deep and complex meanings that we don’t have words for in English.
