Discovering the Buddha Within Program Summary

This three-year curriculum, designed by Guru Vajradhara His Holiness the 12th Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa, is an experiential learning program of the Buddha Dharma. Created in response to requests from Palpung Dharma Centers, its goal is to make the essence of the Buddha's teachings accessible and comprehensive for any audience.

Program Structure & Methodology

• The program follows the Buddha’s teachings on the Three Turnings of the Wheel of Dharma and the Four Tantras, corresponding to three gradual levels of discovering the nature of mind and phenomena.
• It is designed for a foreign audience, with a strong emphasis on direct experience through meditation, including practices like Shamatha (calm abiding) and Vipashyana (advanced insight).
• Each level of the curriculum covers three core aspects according to the Shravakayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana perspectives:
  • View: Intellectual understanding.
  • Meditation: Experiential understanding.
  • Application: Integrating understanding into daily life.

Commitment & Support

• Commitment:
  • For newcomers: A minimum of 10 minutes of daily practice for 30 consecutive days.
