During this in-depth course on foundational Buddhist teachings, Khenpo Gawang will guide participants through his book, Your Mind Is Your Teacher. This is strongly recommended for new students but will be offered in enough depth to be interesting and useful to those who have studied Buddhist teachings for many years.

Topics to be covered: 

  • The Four Seals of the Dharma (Impermanence, Multiplicity, Suffering, and Emptiness)
  • The Eightfold Noble Path
  • The Five Skandhas
  • The Twelve Nidanas
  • Karma
  • Merit
  • Death and the Bardo
  • Absolute and Relative Reality

In addition to the teachings, for the periods between classes, the course will include optional contemplations, readings, and exercises to help deepen and strengthen these core understandings of Buddhism.

Class prices are in USD.
