Four classes of Dharma Essentials Course I: The Principal Teachings of Buddhism, taught in Tucson, Arizona, in January 2006.

The course is based on The Three Principal Paths by Je Tsongkapa, with commentary by Pabongka Rinpoche.

In the course, Lama Marut explains Dharma as "what holds us up and keeps us going", and presents the three paths of renunciation, bodhicitta and correct view, as essentials for a spiritual life in any tradition.

Each class ends with a guided meditation.

Dharma Essentials are the essentialised version of Geshe Michael Roach's 18 Asian Classics Institute courses. The full ACI courses can be found at The Knowledge Base →
