D03.1(A)-Buddhism for Beginners, Buddha Dharma (DISCOURSE ONLY)

This is a Dharma Discourse on  “Various Aspects of Buddha Dharma-PARTS I & II,” given in 1995 on the Trip to Taiwan, that includes many essential principles that must be understood to proceed on the path. This two-part discourse introduces the concepts of Buddha Dharma, the six great elements, emptiness, impermanence, death, the various types of suffering, why you learn Buddhism, ghosts, and the six supernormal powers.

The videos are from a reading by Zhaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche at a Lemonade Sangha class given on October 19, 2021. Part of the Q & A session that followed that reading is also included, which contains what the Buddha Master told Zhaxi Zhuoma about the nature of COVID in the Q & A session after the class.

This free course does not include any assignments, quizzes, supplemental materials, or group discussions that you can find when the full course is offered in D03.1.
