In May 2006, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III told a group of His senior disciples, He would answer any question they had. This resulted in two discourses. The first included questions concerning becoming accomplished and attaining liberation, the source and elimination of suffering, saving living beings, and reincarnation while the second answered our questions concerning impermanence, famous people, the bardo, dragons, the Three Pure Cumulative Precepts, taking refuge, overcoming obstacles, dissolving grudges, practicing different forms of meditation, doubt, developing Dharma power, the rainbow body, the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, karma and negative habits, precepts, bodhichitta, reincarnation, drowsiness, the Four Limitless States of Mind, preliminary practices, Dharma affinity, forms of accomplishment, and merit.
I read preliminary translations of those two discourses to those who participated in the October 2026 Meditation Retreat held at the Holy Vajrasana Temple, but you can also listen to them by enrolling in Course D07.1(A) at the Learning from Buddha Seminary (LFBS). This and 29 other courses have been recorded as preliminary translations of discourses given by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III or related to His discourses and sutras that are available for anyone enrolling in the free “Auditing (A)” program. Other courses with homework and exams are available or under development for students enrolled in either the “Buddhist Studies (BS)” or “Xuanfa Seminary (XS)” programs. Both the BS and XS programs do require a membership fee.
If you are interested in enrolling in any of the three membership programs at LFBS, you need to go to https://learningfrombuddha.org/ and register. Click on “Membership” on the top menu bar to select your membership and enroll in this course. Click for detailed Users Guide under the “STUDENT MANUAL” in the website’s top menu bar for more information.
Prior to accessing this course, you are required to listen to the caveats provided in “PRELIMINARY STEPS” of Section 1 of the curriculum, which is a requirement for all preliminary translations of the Buddha Master’s teachings and then complete the prerequisite “D01(A)-The Supreme and Magnificent Dharma” and any other listed requirements.
