Basic Program: Buddha Nature, Essence of Enlightenment


What is enlightenment? How is it possible? Who can achieve it? One of Mahayana Buddhism’s most important teachings is the doctrine of Tathagatagarbha, or Buddha Nature, the innate pure and changeless essence of the mind which gives rise to the fundamental potential for each being to attain full enlightenment or Buddhahood. This course in the FPMT Basic Program utilizes the first chapter of Maitreya’s Sublime Continuum, a text replete with rich poetic imagery and metaphor, to explore this profound and inspiring topic. Taught by Don Handrick.
