The Online Learning Program at RYI/CBS Kathmandu University's Centre for Buddhist Studies at Rangjung Yeshe Institute is currently offering one course online, in four different course formats.
This year’s course is Knowledge—Root of the Middle Way (Mūlamadhyamakakārikā), an exposition of Nāgārjuna’s seminal work on Madhyamaka philosophy.
The course is taught by Jampa Donden, a Tibetan Khenpo (Professor) at Ka-Nying Shedrup Ling monastery, and translated into English by Catherine Dalton (MA, Kathmandu), a Translator and Lecturer at the Rangjung Yeshe Institute Centre for Buddhist Studies. Supplementary materials were created by Joanne Larson (MA, Bristol), also a Translator and Lecturer at RYI/CBS and the Moderator is Hilary Herdman (MA, Bristol), another Lecturer at RYI/CBS. | Course Name | Course Type | Semester | Enrollment Starts | Format
