Recordings

  • Vajrayana

    June 2022: We have decided that it will be helpful to take a detour and study Trungpa Rinpoche’s Shambhala the Sacred Path of the Warrior and then return to The Profound Treasury. The Shambhala teachings were very important to Trungpa Rinpoche, are tantric and precious, and will illuminate our understanding of the Vajrayana when we return to The Profound Treasury.

  • Mahayana

    From Summer 2021 - May, 2022, we read the chapters from the Volume 2 of The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma; The Bodhisattva Path of Wisdom and Compassion. All previous class recordings of this course can be found on our YouTube channel
