Starting January 3, 2012 and concluding December 12, 2013.
With sixteen weekend workshops and one retreat.
Dynamic and alive, the lineage of the Buddha’s teachings has the power to liberate us from suffering and pain. The Nyingma Institute is pleased to offer a two-year intensive program inspired by Tarthang Tulku that explores how the path of liberation is activated and applied.
The new quarter synopsis follows for a sample of the depth and richness of the teachings from the very beginning of the program.
An Awakened Vision of Being
Quarter One of the Path of Liberation Program
Taught at the Nyingma Institute, Berkeley, California
This first quarter of the Path of Liberation Program is a journey into the Buddha’s vision of what embodiment means. Teachings illuminate the precious opportunity that our lives represent and trace the path that the Buddha took to enlightenment.
Primary texts: Ways of Enlightenment, Footsteps on the Diamond Path, and Joy of Being.

Week 2: The Jewels of the Dharma and Sangha
Week 3: Developing the Qualities of Enlightened Being
Week 4: Stages on the Path
Week 5: Awakening Vision
Week 6: Types of Teachings and Trainings
Week 7: Joy of Being
Week 8: How we Embody Suffering
Week 9: Becoming Wise
Week 10: Knowledge for Transformation
Weekend Workshops:
DHS401 Visions of Enlightenment
January 13-14: Friday 7--9 PM; Sat. 10 AM—4:45 PM
This workshop explores the unique ways that a fully awakened being manifests. First, we look at Tibetan art as a vital embodiment of enlightenment, examining the ways in which awakened qualities are depicted. We also work with mantra (ways to merge sound with awakened awareness) and Tibetan meditations that evoke the Buddha. Finally, we consider three specific aspects to a Buddha’s embodiment: the Dharmakaya, the Sambhogakaya, and the Nirmanakaya.
DHS402 Faith in Dharma
February 17-18: Friday 7--9 PM; Sat. 10 AM—4:45 PM
The awakening of faith in the Dharma means that we have surrendered our heart to truth. This workshop outlines the steps to such faith. Students will learn to distinguish belief from faith and skepticism from inquiry. Discussion and practice will focus on how to build inner confidence in our own abilities as we seek guidance from those who are wiser.
Classes risk cancellation if the minimum number of students is not achieved BEFORE the first class session. Please call or email now if you are interested in attending.
