This Fall Khenpo will begin teaching from the masterwork of Tibetan Buddhism, Jewel Ornament of Liberation. This text provides a complete foundation for study and practice—from beginning to Buddhahood. It includes teachings on Buddha-nature, finding the spiritual master, impermanence, karma, cultivation of bodhicitta, development of the six perfections, the ten bodhisattva bhumis, Buddhahood, and the activities of the Buddha. This class is great for beginners.
