G36-Dharma That Every Buddhist Must Follow
- Description

- Notice
- Reviews
Dorje Pamu, an incarnation of Vajravarahi and a female Dharma King, provides direct and practical advice on how to actually do Dharma. This course will use the only known published English translation of her writings to study “Ten Superficialities,” “Twenty Types of Futility,” “Understanding Cause and Effect and Clearly Believing in Cause and Effect,” and other related topics.
Dharma that Every Buddhist Must Follow by Amang Nopu Pamu will be used as the text for this course. This course is a prerequisite for studying and practicing the Vajra Perfection Yoga Dharma (P03X). The only prerequisites required to take this course are “G02-Spiritual Biography” and “C01-Essays from Dharma King Zun Sheng.”
To receive credit for this as a LFBS course, you must follow the three steps in a Final Project/paper to reflect on what parts of PaMu’s text are most important to you and why. You then share what this Dharma means to you with someone.
