Courses offered are based on selected principal texts from four of the five subjects studied in Tibetan Buddhist monastic colleges from all traditions (excluding the Vinaya section traditionally studied only by monastics):
- Madhyamaka (དབུ་མ་ - Philosophy of the Middle Way)
- Abhidharma (ཆོས་མངོན་པ་ - Phenomenology)
- Prajñāpāramitā (ཤེར་ཕྱིན་ - the Perfection of Wisdom)
- Pramāṇa (ཚད་མ་ - Logic and Epistemology)
Each year, IBA aims to teach both Buddhist philosophy from the above mentioned topics, as well as "pith instruction" texts supporting practice. These courses are designed to complement each other, thus providing a balanced approach between understanding the profound meaning of the Buddha's teachings and applying it in ones life. The courses cater to students at all levels of academic experience and Buddhist study and practice. This diversity contributes to a stimulating and enriching environment. It is a joy to interact with Dharma students from various walks of life, many countries, different traditions and of all ages. Courses are conducted in English. Please contact the office to organize translation from English into other languages. |
