STUDY PROGRAM - Introduction and first session
In PERSON or ONLINE
This program is intended for students who have completed the PRACTICE PROGRAM
The main program at Paramita Centre is the PRACTICE PROGRAM, where students learn the most essentials points of the Buddha's Teachings in order to be able to apply them in one's daily life, by studying first Calm-Abiding (Shamatha) Meditation, then the steps of the Path to Enlightenment through study of the Lamrim (intro and Deeper study). This is completed by the study and practice of Special Insight (Vipashyana) and other topics such as Buddhist Psychology, the Death process and the 12 interdependant links. The second part is the practice of the Ngondros and then the whole path of the Mantras (Vajrayana).
Students who have completed or who are well familiarized with the elements of the Practice Program can then want to join the STUDY PROGRAM. This program is not to be seen as something separated from the Practice Program, but a complement. In this program, topics of Buddha's teachings are seen and studied in a much deeper way, similar to the way it is studied by the monks at the great Monastic Universities founded by the great Lama Tsongkhapa, such as Ganden.
You can see on this page some more details about the topics covered in this program.
This program will be going on for a few years, and will start this spring, with 3 first meetings. The dates for the next classes will be decided later during the spring. You can join in person (recommended) or online. The books that will be studied are not yet printed. A draft copy of the book will be ready for you before the start of the class.
First 3 classes (Sunday morning from 9:00 to 12:00):
May 11
