Guests to this site may view the descriptions and curriculum for the nine types of classes we offer in the Catalog of Courses. Some course lessons have green “PREVIEW” buttons that enable you to view or download an aspect of the content of a particular lesson that we are making freely available to anyone.
If you want to go deeper, you will need to enroll in one of the three membership plans offered by the Learning from Buddha College and Seminary as an Auditing Student, Buddhist Studies Student, or Xiuxing Seminary Student. We have also added a Xiuxing Practice Program that is part of the Xiuxing Seminary program, but focuses on actual Dharma practice. Clicking any of these student types tells you more about them. You may enroll in a free membership as an Auditing Student and listen to readings of preliminary translations of many of the Dharma Discourses and texts transmitted by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. The Dharma should always be free, but we require a current email and information on how to reach you as we have vowed to let you know as soon as official or more current translations are available. The other two programs have a monthly enrollment fee which helps cover the ongoing costs of hosting this website and the recurring software costs to bring you structured classes with assignments, discussion groups, exams, and the like. Our facilitators, mentors, administrators and the people who maintain our website are all volunteers.
