Dear future Basic Program student,
Nalanda Monastery is very happy to announce an introductory course in Collected Topics (Dudra) from Monday 6 November to Friday 1 December 2017.
The FPMT Masters Program in Buddhist Studies of Sutra and Tantra is the unique vision of Lama Thubten Yeshe, first implemented and developed into the current curriculum by Geshe Jampa Gyatso. As a full-time study program with integrated practice and training components, it aims at providing serious students of Lama Tsongkhapa’s tradition greater depth of study and trains qualified teachers of Buddhist theory and practice.
At Nalanda, the Masters Program is taught by the abbot of Nalanda Monastery, Khen Rinpoche Geshe Losang Jamphel, a fully qualified Tibetan Lharampa Geshe. Supplemental to the lectures there are review classes offered by a highly experienced Teaching Assistant.
The program offers an in-depth study of five great texts as well as extensive retreat experience, all of which will provide a thorough grounding in sutra and tantra. It is a uniquely inspiring and fulfilling way for both ordained and lay Buddhists to learn and practice the Dharma. As the culmination of the FPMT's Buddhist education programs, it is intended to train qualified non-Tibetan Dharma teachers.
