What Else Is New at Learning from Buddha College and Seminary (LFBCS), August 8, 2023?

Two major changes to future discussions of the LFBCS course C41(A) will enable us to have ZOOM discussions of both of the major Dharmas given us by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III: TheSupreme and Unsurpassable Mahamudra of Liberationand “Imparting the Absolute Truth through the Heart Sutra.” Click the titles for more information and CLICK for flyer with estimated dates. I had planned on being on retreat now, but needed to postpone the start of the retreat until August 16. However, we should still be able to start the zoom classes again on September 16* as planned. I would like to also have another ZOOM discussion on B24-Lady Niguma on September 19.

R95(A)-Short Term Retreats and R99X-Thirty-Day Retreats are now being booked at the temple. Priority will be given to those wanting to take these retreats as part of their LFBCS requirements, but others who can meet the requirements may also be able to learn the Solitary Retreat Dharma.

* Actually held on September 23.
