Course Description

Get the Discovering Buddhism Online Package and build a solid foundation in the teachings and practice of Tibetan Mahayana Buddhism!

Discovering Buddhism Online is a 14-module correspondence course. Students can choose to participate on a casual basis or to pursue a certificate of completion for each module by participating in retreats, meditations, reading translations and texts, and listening to lectures. This program is not designed as an academic study of Buddhism but is intended to change a person’s life.

Each Discovering Buddhism module consists of teachings, meditations and practices, readings, assessment and quiz questions, and a short retreat. Students may do some or all of these components of each course as they wish and are interested. Those who complete all the components receive a completion card for that course. When all 14 modules have been completed, students receive a certificate of completion!

• Mind and Its Potential

• All About Karma
• Refuge in the Three Jewels
• Establishing a Daily Practice
