Foundations of Tibetan Buddhism, Online Buddhism Course
Course Overview
This is an online Buddhism course where you will explore the rich history, philosophy, and meditative traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and its three yana spiritual path. For those seeking Buddhism classes online, you will have access in this self-paced course to teachings from Mingyur Rinpoche, audio files, two webinars, optional personal practice interviews, and a discussion forum to ask questions.
For over a thousand years, the people of Tibet have preserved a unique form of Buddhism that was originally taught and practiced in ancient India. The hallmark of the Tibetan tradition is a graded approach to meditation, spiritual study, and ethical living embodied in the "three vehicles" of Buddhism: the Foundational Vehicle, the Great Vehicle, and the Vajra Vehicle. In Tibetan Buddhism, these three vehicles are practiced as one unified system.
