Classes
The Halifax Nalandabodhi Study Group meets every second Sunday. We are dedicated to the
study and practice of Buddhism, a science of mind, under the direction of The
Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche.
Please contact us if you wish to register for a new Hinayana class, starting January, 2008.
Curriculum
The Study Group follows the Nalandabodhi Study
Curriculum, which adapts the traditional curriculum taught in Tibetan Buddhist
educational academies (shedras) for Western audiences. Students progress
sequentially through basic Buddhist introductory topics, and the increasingly
complex topics of the Hinayana and Mahayana studies; they conclude with the
subtleties of the Vajrayana.
The Study Group meets on the
2nd and 4th Sundays of each month. Members are asked to study for the class and
participate in discussions. There is also the opportunity to prepare and present
material to the group. Course materials are based on the Nalandabodhi study
texts. At each level of the curriculum, students participate in an oral midterm
examination and a written final examination.
For details
on the curriculum, please consult the Nalandabodhi
site.

curriculum, please contact us.
