Discover the Radiance of
Every
Moment
Study the nature of mind, recover your natural intelligence, and develop a more meaningful and engaged way of being in the world.
WHAT THIS IS
Dharma College is a place to study mind as a way of living.
Dharma College is a community devoted to the study of mind and to discovering how understanding can transform human experience. It is based in authentic wisdom tradition that has been passed for thousands of years and now expressed in contemporary language and in a style suitable for modern conditions. All classes are live allowing for dialogue and a radical exploration of our own embodiment.
We explore the patterns that shape perception, thought, emotion, and behavior, not simply as ideas to be studied, but as experiences that can be recognized and understood from within. Through inquiry, contemplative practice, and embodied knowing, we begin to see how the mind creates both limitation and possibility and create the foundation for a path to a spiritual life.
It is a way of finding the genuine sources of happiness, unleashing our natural intelligence, and learning to meet the raiance of every moment with greater clarity and presence.
At the heart of Dharma College is the understanding that cognition is pristine and freedom is infinite when we recognize the nature of mind. Beneath habitual reactions and familiar ways of seeing lies an intelligence that is already responsive, creative, and alive.
Join a community exploring what becomes possible when knowledge moves beyond the intellect and becomes a lived way of seeing, knowing, and being.
Wisdom comes differently. Join us at Dharma College and find out how.

TESTIMONIALS
What Changes For Students
“Warm, caring environment. Easily-digestible, small nuggets of “homework” (a.k.a. daily concepts to meditate or reflect on). A gentle way of nudging oneself towards awareness. This was a wonderful course to experience and to help see the forest through the trees of both your work and personal life.”
— Darlyne Dolap
“A wonderful course with wonderful classmates. A profoundly refreshing approach to work, better and far deeper than the usual professional growth workshops.”
— Victoria Riskin
“Our class helped me focus on the suffering of not letting go and how we can experience the difference of letting go. Thank you, Wangmo and classmates for sharing. I will continue to explore how letting go can bring positive changes in life.”
