Discovering Buddhism
GENERAL INFORMATION about DISCOVERING BUDDHISM
The Discovering Buddhism (DB) FPMT course offers an authentic presentation of the Buddha's teachings, in a format relevant to modern Westerners. Taught by FPMT registered teachers, DB classes lay a strong foundation of the entire Tibetan Buddhist path including how to integrate study and practice. This is an excellent “next step” for students who already have some knowledge of Buddhism and who want to learn more and delve deeper into the topics and Buddhist practices.

FPMT DISCOVERING BUDDHISM COMPLETION CERTIFICATE
There is much benefit to seeking certification for the course, including the commitment to learning the material and trying the practices recommended by our spiritual founder, Lama Zopa Rinpoche. A Completion Certificate is issued by the FPMT when a student has tracked and completed the requirements for all fourteen modules. Requirements for completing Module 14, Special Integration Experiences, include retreats, mantra and prostration practices. It is strongly recommended that the Special Integration Experiences of Module 14 are started as early as possible due to the required time and nature of the commitment involved in order to complete them. For more information on how to earn the FPMT Discovering Buddhism Completion Certificate, please visit the FPMT online learning website HERE.
