The Great Ideas of Buddhism - Part 1

This is a fantastic opportunity for a high level overview of the Buddhist path. The fifteen Formal Study Courses cover the main ideas of the entire course of study followed by a Tibetan monk-scholar (or geshe) at one of the great monasteries of Tibet. The three-part Great Ideas series summarizes all fifteen ACI Courses, along the teachings of the traditional training of a Tibetan Buddhist Master. In part one, we cover the first five ACI Courses: The Principal Teachings of Buddhism, Buddhist Refuge, Applied Meditation, Proof of Future Lives, and How Karma Works. Successful completion of all three parts of this series, with a teacher in person, is required for a final, comprehensive ACI diploma.
