Tibetan Buddhist Spiritual Educational Curriculum
 

Dear Members and Friends:  

Specifically, SEC has been established to provide a structured set of courses so to enable people interested in Tibetan Buddhism to gradually learn the basic teachings and spiritual practices that are at the core of Sakya Monastery and Tibetan Buddhism.  In order to make the introductory SEC classes more accessible, this quarter we are offering various 100 SEC level courses from 8:45am-9:45am every Sunday before Chenrezi.  The SEC Sunday courses listed in the catalog do not have to be taken in sequence. 

Secondly, we are adding some 200 and 300 level courses to be taught by some of our most experienced teachers and members.  

May you enjoy learning the profound teachings of Lord Buddha.

Sincerely,

Adrienne Chan                                       Chuck Pettis
