The Complete Buddhist Path
with Hector Marcel
Tuesdays and Thursdays
March 18-April 17, 2025
7:45-9:15pm
IRL OR VIRTUAL
In Tibetan Buddhism, there are explicit and detailed texts on how human consciousness can evolve from a state dominated by instinct and impulse, characterized by suffering, into a fully Enlightened being. When a person transcends the normal conditions of suffering, their experience of reality shifts into two main characteristics: perceiving the true nature of reality directly, and experiencing every sensory input as pure bliss.
This is the first dharma course Hector Marcel has taught publicly since 2018. Additionally, this text is considered to be an essential course of study for serious practitioners, but it is not one of the courses for teacher certification in the Asian Classics Institute.
