Course Outline

The Lamrim Chenmo Correspondence Course is a two and a half years,  seven-module course structured in the same way as the Foundation of Buddhist Thought Course especially for students who have completed the Foundation of Buddhist Thought.

 

It is taken from the London campus course that Geshe Tashi Tsering gave between 2005-7 and uses edited recordings of his teachings as he systematically takes you through the three books of The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment by Lama Tsongkhapa. Undoubtedly the seminal text of the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, this wonderful book lays out the complete path to enlightenment in a clear and concise way. This is an invaluable way to deepen your understanding after you have completed the FBT.

Methods & Materials

For the two and a  half  years of the course you will:

• study the three books of the Lamrim Chenmo in a structured and detailed way
• use over 70 hours of commentary from Geshe Tashi, in clear, edited MP3 audio tracks
