Ven Chukyi has just finished an overview of this crucial text and we will now go through the formal ACI courses for this subject in depth.
These courses were created by Geshe Michael Roach based on what he learned in his 20 year Geshe degree at a Tibetan monastery.
AND - If you are at all interested in pursuing the higher teachings in our lineage, you need to complete these fundamental courses (with homeworks/quizzes/finals also completed).
Part 1 is the first in the three course series based Master Shantideva's work, which is considered the best book ever written to learn how to live as a bodhisattva.
Topics include: the benefits of being a bodhisattva, the preliminaries you must undertake to become a bodhisattva, how to remove existing obstacles and how to collect the causes for Bodhicitta, a description of the six perfections, the order in which to undertake practice of the six perfections, how to treat your mental afflictions, and an explanation of the perfection of giving and the perfection of an ethical way of life.
Yat Peng & Jaki will lead this course. Auditing the course is permitted.
When: Monday nights Starting on 16 July, 7.30- 9.30pm
At: JayGee Building, 10 Genting Lane, #09-00
(off Macpherson Rd)
All classes are free and all are welcome.
Please email Jaki at lobsangchopel@yahoo.com if you're coming by Saturday 14 July so that we can print readings for you. Please also let us know if you will be taking the course for credit or auditing it.
