Vajrayana Buddhism, An Online Course

Course Overview

Our Vajrayana Buddhism online course is for those seeking an authentic introduction to the principles and practices of Vajrayana Buddhism. It is led by Mingyur Rinpoche and includes videos, audio files, a course workbook, webinars, and a forum. This course is part of the Vajrayana Online subscription-based offering. Those interested in learning Buddhism can subscribe to Vajrayana online for a low monthly fee and access several courses.

The Vajra Vehicle of Tibetan Buddhism is considered a “swift path” to enlightenment. This profound approach to awakening is rooted in the understanding that Buddhahood is not a goal to be achieved, but an immanent reality that we can recognize in the present moment. Various tools are used to bring about this recognition: meditations that employ the imagination and symbolic imagery exercises designed to harness the power of the body’s subtle energies, and pith instructions that guide the meditator to a direct experience of the luminous purity of the mind’s true nature.

  • We will explore the most important principles and practices of Vajrayana Buddhism, including its profound teachings on the immanence of the enlightened state and the powerful practices that enable us to access our own awakened nature.
