Level 4 of Middle-Way Philosophy (Madhyamika) taught by Will Duncan and Mira Shani
This course is the second in a three-part series based upon the Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life (Bodhisattvacharya Avatara) by Master Shantideva (700 AD) and upon the commentary Entry Point for Children of the Victorious Buddhas (Gyalse Juk-ngok) by Gyaltsab Je (1364-1432). Topics include: an explanation of the perfection of patience, the perfection of joyful effort, and the perfection of meditative concentration; the results of anger; how to make a habit of not getting angry; how joyous effort supports the other five perfections; obstacles to joyous effort; obstacles to meditation; how selfishness produces pain; reasons to treat others as well as yourself; the source of all the world's pain; compassion as a prerequisite for successful meditative concentration; meditation as a prerequisite for wisdom; where you, your world, and all of your experiences come from; and Buddha nature.
Part 1 of this series (ACI Course 10) is not a prerequisite, but certainly helpful.
Part 3 of this series (ACI Course 12) will be offered later this year.

The Foundations of Tibetan Buddhism
We continue the Dharma Essentials series of short 4-class courses giving essential insights into the core foundations of Tibetan Buddhism. They are taught by David White, a teacher of yoga, yoga philosophy and yoga texts, of Sanskrit, and of Buddhist dharma, and a qualified teacher of these Asian Classic Institute courses:
Dharma Essentials Course Four: The Proof of Future Lives
We tend to be very loose with our language and our understanding when it comes to deep spiritual truths. We don't think very deeply, and as a result live in a fog, where clarity is essential. The way we live this precious and unique life depends on how we understand what is truly going on. Is there really re-birth and reincarnation? What dies, and what continues? How can that possibly happen – and can we know that for sure?
This course examines different levels of perception, and how we can be sure of valid perceptions. How we can know things, and just who can truly know. We'll explore the nature of perception, of omniscience, of compassion, how to create them, and we'll explore the nature of mind itself. And of course we'll look at Buddhism's proofs of past- and future-lives, and how and why they come about.

Dharma Essentials Course Five: How Karma Works
This is the biggie, isn't it? How's your life? How's your karma? Do you have any idea of what is really going on in the craziness that you call your life? Who's in charge? What can we each do about it?
All Buddhist wisdom, and all authentic spiritual practices, are based upon the laws of karma, and it is the most fundamental description of how life actually works. So it is crucial to understand thoroughly how karma works to succeed in any spiritual path, Buddhist or otherwise, and in life. This course looks at the definition and nature of karma; how and why there is good, bad and neutral karma. How karma expresses in body, speech, and mind. Why virtue and non-virtue, black and white deeds are critical. How we create, carry, and project our karma, our experiences. How we generate karmic consequences, and what we can do about them, to make them powerful, or to purify them.
