The series: The goal of this series is to awaken the limitless potential of your mind and achieve peace of mind and happiness. This is a foundational series in Buddhist philosophy and practice, aimed at giving students a solid footing in the practice of Mahayana Buddhism. By engaging in this series, students gain a theoretical and experiential taste of the Buddha’s teachings, into Buddhist meditation, and the skills you need to make your life most meaningful. Discovering Buddhism is developed by an array of international teachers from FPMT under the guidance of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. It is designed not only as an academic study of Buddhism - it is meant to change your life!
This module (4 classes): Investigate the role of the teacher on the spiritual path: why do we actually need a teacher, which different levels of teachers can we identify, qualities related to the teacher and student, and how to relate to a teacher in various ways.
“Whoever makes your mind become Dharma, that is the Tsaway lama, the root guru.” – Lama Zopa Rinpoche
