[ CLASSES ONLINE ] COURSE 18: The Great Ideas of Buddhism, Part III.
This is the last part of a review of the great ideas of Buddhism over the last two millenia-including some exciting explorations into emptiness and compassion, all from the original ancient sources. In part three of the series, we cover ACI Courses eleven through fifteen: A Guide to the Bodhisattvas Way of Life, parts two and three; The Art of Reasoning;Lojong, Developing the Good Heart; and What the Buddha Really Meant.
The first half of each class in this Course was taught by Geshe Michael, and the second half of each class occurred in smaller study groups. Therefore, only the first half of each class is recorded in the audio portion of this series, and this Course is not available for correspondence course grading by the Institute. Successful completion of all three parts of this series, with a teacher in person, is required for a final, comprehensive ACI diploma. This Formal Study Course includes a syllabus and a final exam along with the following written materials for each class: a reading, a quiz, homework, and an answer key.
