HH. Dorje Chang Buddha III

This discourse on impermanence was transmitted in China in the 1990s. This is Dharma that you need to fully understand to be able to become enlightened in this lifetime.

Prior to viewing this course, you are required to listen to the caveats provided in “PRELIMINARY STEPS” of Section 1 of the curriculum, which is a requirement for all preliminary translations of the Buddha Master’s teachings and then complete D01(A)-The Supreme and Magnificent Dharma” and “D02(A)-On Suffering.”   

 

Why do we need the preliminary steps?
Our school offers an introduction to the Practices and Blessings Tradition of Mahayana Buddhism. We offer certain practices that can enable you to become enlightened in this lifetime if followed precisely. This is possible with the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and by our cultivation of morality, meditation, and wisdom. We recognize and praise these holy beings by our chants and develop our wisdom through learning the Dharma. We also recognize that, at present, we only have preliminary translations that may contain errors, but that still offer us guidance on our path.
Why do we dedicate merit after hearing the Dharma?
Part of our cultivation is to share any merit we receive with all living beings (not just humans). You will understand these concepts and principles as you study these courses.
I have completed some of the assignments or events, but it doesn’t seem to be registering, since at the end it does not correctly show my status. What am I doing wrong?
It is probably because you did not click the “Completed” button at the end of the task. The other reason is that it may be for “Assignments (essay questions)” that are pending approval by the facilitator. It can be confusing. If you are not getting a response from the facilitator, email them and be sure and include your name and the Course ID and ask to have course graded.
