ACI 17: The Great Ideas of Buddhism Pt. 2

This is a fantastic opportunity for a high level overview of the Buddhist Path. The fifteen Formal Study Courses cover the main ideas of the entire course of study followed by a Tibetan monk-scholar (or Geshe) at one of the great monasteries of Tibet. The three-part Great Ideas series summarizes all fifteen ACI Courses, along with the teachings of the traditional training of a Tibetan Buddhist Master. In part two, we cover ACI Courses six through ten: The Diamond Cutter Sutra, The Bodhisattva Vows, Death and the Realms of Existence, The Ethical Way of Life (Vinaya), and A Guide to the Bodhisattvas Way of Life.

Successful completion of all three parts of this series, with a teacher in person, is required for a final, comprehensive ACI diploma.
