Join us as we explore the authentic path of meditation and insight as originally described by the Buddha and skillfully transmitted to the West by one of the great Tibetan masters of our time, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. The course will be based on a curated sourcebook of readings from his work, and will include meditation, presentation, and discussion.
WMC Intermediate Level Course – Semester One
Wednesdays 7 – 9 PM ONLINE - Zoom Only
September 11 – December 18, 2024 (note new start date)
Led by Derek Kolleeny and Colleagues
This Intermediate-level course will survey the entire range of Buddhism’s development into what are called the three yanas, or "vehicles" of Tibetan Buddhism — Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana — as stages of development that individuals follow along the Buddhist path. We will undertake a close reading of the wonderful book by Traleg Rinpoche, The Essence of Buddhism, which serves as a handbook for the various meditative approaches of Buddhist practice.
In addition to these Courses, also take note of our Discussion Groups and Open House Meditation Gatherings.
