D15-Buddhism for Beginners, Supernatural Powers and Qigong

This is a Dharma Discourse on “Will Supernatural Power End the Cycle of Birth and Death? Qi-Gong Is Different from Buddhism” expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. It explains the role supernatural powers play in obtaining enlightenment and compares Qigong practice to Buddhist Practice. It provides many examples including the magic performances of Las Vegas performers.

The curriculum videos are from the reading by Zhaxi Zhuoma Rinpoche of a preliminary translation of this Dharma Discourse at a Lemonade Sangha on-line class given on September 4, 2021.
