For many years resident lamas and students of Palpung Dharma Centers worldwide have been requesting His Holiness the 12th Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa to create a step-by\u00ad step Dharma study curriculum adapted to foreign students that can be taught and practiced in all Palpung Dharma Centers.\r\n<br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe aim of this curriculum is to <strong>explain the essence of the Buddha's teachings in an easy and understandable yet comprehensive way<\/strong>. The Buddha Shakyamuni has shown the nature of beings' minds and phenomena on three different levels, each consecutive level being deeper and wider than the former one.\r\n<br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>\r\n\r\nThis three-year curriculum follows the Buddha's teachings on the<strong> Three Turnings of the Wheel of Dharma beyond religion<\/strong>, followed by the sacred transmission of four tantras that correspond to three gradual levels of discovering the ultimate nature of the mind and phenomena. The best way for a foreign audience to be able to acquire a proper understanding of these basic three levels of the Buddha Dharma is to approach it through one's own direct experience of various meditations connected to each of the three levels.\r\n<br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>\r\n\r\nFor each level, the teacher will explain the <strong>view<\/strong> (intellectual understanding), <strong>meditation<\/strong> (experiential understanding), and <strong>application<\/strong> (applying this understanding to change one's daily habits) of the topics according to Shravakayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana.\r\n<br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>\r\n\r\nMeditations that form the core part of each level are divided into two sections:\r\n<br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>Shamatha<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.palpung.eu\/en\/practising-buddhism\/meditation\/peaceful-abiding\/\"><strong>Abiding peacefully<\/strong><\/a>) and <strong>Vipashyana<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.palpung.eu\/en\/practising-buddhism\/meditation\/insight-meditation\/\"><strong>Superior insight<\/strong><\/a>).\r\n<br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>\r\n\r\nThrough these three aspects - view, meditation, and action - one will discover the Buddha within oneself.\r\n<div><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>The <strong>aim of this curriculum<\/strong> is to<strong> explain the essence of the Buddha\u2019s teachings in an easy and <\/strong><strong>understandable yet
