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 performances of David Copperfield and other 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.

This free course only includes the reading of the discourse itself and does not include any assignments, quizzes, supplemental materials, or group discussions. You would need to have a paid membership to be able to access the full course D15.

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 complete “D01(A)-The Supreme and Magnificent Dharma”.

General reference materials on Buddhism including common terms and a brief “Glossary” are also included at the end of the lessons for all beginning level courses.

: Why do we need the preliminary steps?
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 show I am finished?
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.
