Samye Institute offers home study courses based upon Dharma instruction which has been passed down from master to master over many generations since the time of the Buddha. We have arranged the materials into a few courses of different lengths and depths. Phakchok Rinpoche suggests that students spend at least one year of dedicated practice in the Mahamudra Level One and Mahamudra Level Two courses.

Each course is complete unto itself, but they can also build on each other. The key points of Dharma practice are always the same. We seek to transform our minds, and reduce suffering. We learn how to best practice loving kindness and compassion for the benefit of all beings.
