Dear Friends,

In life, there are moments when we naturally pause to reflect on our true purpose. Perhaps you’re at such a crossroads now, contemplating where you’ve been and where you’re headed next.

Our lives are incredibly precious, brimming with meaning and the potential to inspire those around us. But have you ever wondered how you might care for yourself in a deeper, more fulfilling way? Imagine infusing each day with greater depth, ensuring that no moment is wasted but instead cherished. What would that look like in your everyday life? Could life become more spiritual and full of gifts?

At Dharma College, we believe every step you take is part of a journey toward deeper understanding and spiritual growth. By embracing this path, you can enrich your life and savor each precious moment, living without regrets.

This Fall, I’m excited to offer two introductory (100 level) courses designed to help you bring balance and ease into your life. Additionally, I will be teaching a course that explores the concept of work as a meaningful offering. 

For those familiar with Dharma College, we encourage you to revisit Dr. Richard Dixey’s foundational course, Searcher Reaches Land's Limits. This year-long program is a cornerstone of our curriculum, offering profound insights into the workings of the mind and our experiences.

We also have a 200 level course, Gesture of Great Love, taught by senior instructor Robin Caton. As the principal editor of this course, Robin brings a wealth of wisdom to her teaching, making this another exceptional offering.

For our long-time students, we’re offering two advanced classes this term: Lotus Seminar, which deepens the integration of these teachings into daily life, and Keys of Knowledge, an advanced course led by Dr. Bob Dozor.

I warmly invite you to join me in any of these six courses this Fall term as we continue to explore and enrich our life’s purpose. We'd ask you to sign up this week so we can plan for our incoming class of 2024!

with all best wishes,

Wangmo Dixey
Executive Director

Imagine your mind shining like a diamond, free from the shadows of anxiety, frustration, loneliness, and guilt. Unfortunately, too many people today struggle with the opposite experience—a mind weighed down by these emotions. But what if you could transform that struggle into a journey of meaning, joy, and wisdom?

This year-long program, inspired by Tarthang Tulku’s transformative book, Gesture of Great Love, invites you to embark on a wisdom journey that has the power to reshape your entire human experience. By closely examining the mental patterns that bind us, you will learn to harvest the liberating forces of love and peace that reside within you.

This class is open to all who have completed at least one other course at Dharma College. Don’t miss this opportunity to transform your mind and your life.
