Description:
If you want to learn to meditate on the highest view of ultimate reality from authentic sources, this course is for you. This is a hands-on, experiential course with weekly meditation assignments.
You’ll experience the techniques for meditation used by Buddhist Master Kamalashila (750 AD) from the Stages of Meditation (Bhavana Krama) and The King of Concentration Sutra by Lord Buddha (500 BC) as commented on by Je Tsongkapa. We will also be presenting selections from Ngulchu Dharma Bhadra’s (1772-1851), A Method for Implementing a Review Meditation on the Briefest Essence of “The Path to Bliss,” a Presentation of the Steps of the Path to Buddhahood.
The course is taught by James Connor and Dr. Lisette Garcia, who gained the lineage from Lama Christie McNally, who recently completed a three-year silent retreat in the Arizona desert. James and Lisette are long-time students of the ancient wisdom of Tibet and India, are certified meditation teachers from the Asian Classics Institute of New York and Diamond Mountain University in Arizona, and are excited about continuing to present the Bok Jinpa series.

What is the difference between what we profess we believe and what we actually do? We have a deeply rooted belief in
things. These are caused by doubt. We must uproot our doubts in order to uproot this deeply rooted belief. And for this we need to develop the "eye of wisdom" in a deep state of meditation. This very profound course deals with the ways to fight our doubts and obstacles to realizing the wisdom of emptiness.

Level One of Buddhist Logic and Perception (Pramana)
This Course is based upon the Compendium on Valid Perception (Pramana Samuchaya) by Master Dignaga (440 AD), the Commentary on Valid Perception (Pramana Varttika) by Master Dharmakirti (630 AD), Light on the Path to Freedom (Tarlam Selje) by Gyaltsab Je (1362-1432), and Jewel of the True Thought (Tsema Gong-gyen) by Geshe Yeshe Wangchuk (1928-present). Topics include: the definition of valid perception, the three levels of perception, who has valid perceptions and how, evaluating things beyond our direct perception, how great compassion is developed, the nature of omniscience, the material cause of the mind, proofs of the mind's source, proofs for the existence of past and future lives, and how desire leads to rebirth - an explanation of crucial links in the chain of dependent origination.
