Self Study Education Programme
The Tara Institute teaching transcript collection is a great resource covering some of the great texts of the Tibetan and Indian Buddhist traditions. The Ven. Geshe Doga has taught these topics with the intention of enabling students to understand and to put into practice the meaning of these great topics. The accompanying discussions and exams also have this purpose.
The Self Study Programme is aimed at enabling a progressive learning through these various topics. You are able to study at your own pace using the transcripts, discussion points and exams.

Mind and Awareness
LO-RIG or MIND in Tibetan Buddhism. We use the word 'mind' continually in our conversations, but if we ask ourselves what we mean by 'mind', it becomes obscure. Geshe Doga will present this special series of teachings on the mind from a Buddhist viewpoint, so that we can acquire a clearer understanding of what it is and how it functions.
