Study Curriculum
The Nalandabodhi Study Curriculum is one of the first compilations of such material ever assembled in English and is available at Nalandabodhi Centers and study groups, online, or by individual home study. The curriculum adapts the traditional curriculum taught in Tibetan Buddhism for Western audiences, and the study curriculum is graduated, covering topics from hinayana, mahayana, and vajrayana Buddhism. As such, the material is designed to compliment the Nalandabodhi practice curriculum as well as the material covered at the Nītārtha Institute, a school of advanced Buddhist studies also headed by The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche. The material is primarily derived from the teachings of The Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, with the support of his teacher, Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche, and explores topics from the Kagyu and Nyingma lineages.

Famous quotes containing the words study and/or curriculum:
“A wise writer will feel that the ends of study and composition are best answered by announcing undiscovered regions of thought, and so communicating, through hope, new activity to the torpid spirit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
