Exploring Buddhism is a new program currently being developed by FPMT to serve as a bridge between Discovering Buddhism and The Basic Program. It is designed to help students of Buddhism delve more deeply into a broad array of topics that form a solid foundation for furthering one’s study and practice.  The program will initially be run as a pilot program in FPMT centers to further test and refine the curriculum.

The Buddha said that the source of all happiness and suffering is the mind. In light of this fundamental teaching, it is essential that we develop an extensive understanding of the mind, and then utilize that knowledge to create the causes for our own and other’s well-being.

This module will look at what the mind is and how it works as is presented in both Buddhism and science. We will explore the different ways to distinguish and classify various kinds of consciousness, and investigate how to reduce destructive states of mind, and generate the constructive ones which can lead us on the path to enlightenment.

This is the syllabus for the course.

Supporting the Dharma is an incredibly powerful and necessary action.

This is the highest form of generosity, sharing with others the path to full awakening. Offerings to the Dharma create the causes to never be separated and to have conditions to realize the teachings. It deepens your connection with Dharma teachers, and you become connected with our community.
