The Philosophy and Practice of Vasubandhu's Abhidharmakośa-bhāṣya 

A course taught by Venerable Lodrö Sangpo

The Light of Buddhadharma Foundation International in copartnership with Dharma College is happy to announce that Ven. Londro Sangpo will be leading a 10 class presentation of Abhidharmakoshabhashya.
The key sections and principles of the first eight chapters will be discussed from the point of view of a systematic presentation of the Sarvastivada system. At the same time we will also look at how the familiarization with these key points can be crucial for understanding the nature and functioning of our own mind, both in terms of its confused and awakened aspects.

The course will have ten classes over a 5 month period.

• The first and second classes will be on Saturday, July 30, 2022 and Sunday, July 31
