Join us on Zoom for Mahayana: Compassion Without Limit.
This is the last of a series of six Mahayana courses, on Mondays from 7-8:30 p.m. Pacific, which began in the fall of 2020 and continued into 2021.
All Nalandabodhi students who previously have studied the Mahayana series are greatly encouraged to join this new, updated series of courses.
This sixth course, Paramitas, Paths and Bhumis, begins May 17 and continues tHrough June 21.
Facilitated by Karen Wallace
In the Mahayana teachings, we look at the possibility of limitless compassion and bodhichitta, the boundless intention to help all sentient beings. This motivation and its application are based on the crucial Mahayana notion that all sentient beings possess buddha nature, the potential to become a perfect buddha.
The studies of personal selflessness in the Hinayana are the jumping-off point for widening our vision to embrace the profound Mahayana selflessness of the “great emptiness” of all phenomena as well as the vast training and fruition of the path of a buddha-to-be.
This course is an updated and greatly-revised version of the Nalandabodhi Mahayana Series with many new materials based on talks by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, especially in the areas of mind training, Madhyamaka, Mind-Only, Yogachara, Shentong and Buddha Nature.
