Open to all, this former Buddhist Studies pre-seminary course is expanded to start with the study of the Buddha, and to include ancestral sovereigns, Kagyu and Nyingma lineage holders, and inspiring women like the Buddha’s aunt, Saraha’s partner, Yeshe Tsogyal, and Machig. Using linear time as an organizer, we will explore the meaning of devotion and loyalty along the way–and see how far we get!

 

Participants in the course are welcome to share both their heartfelt understanding and research on the variety of these historic dharmic individuals, no two of which were exactly alike.

 

We shall start each class with the 4 Dharmas of Gampopa, the 7 Line Supplication, and the Kagyu Lineage Supplication and then sit for 5 minutes; and each class will end with both Dedications of Merit.
