Welcome to Dzogchen and Buddhist Teachings, where we offer a comprehensive and interactive online and in person online course system that offers the complete Buddhist path to liberation.
Our courses follow the traditional stages of Lam Rim, which is also known as the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment in Mahayana Buddhism. Our courses also offer Result to Path instructions from Mahamudra, Dzogchen and Highest Yoga Tantra teachings. In this way yogis who participate in the courses are offered the most in depth opportunity to experience the teachings in a experiential and transformational way. By becoming a member you have access to all 27 courses.
It is an expansive opportunity to deepen the level of awareness, commitment to the community and to the teachings. Through deeper connection with the teachers, community and teachings, progress is made on the path. Realizing the benefits of this level of participation provides the conditions that support awakening.
This intensive program provides step-by-step instructions on the path to enlightenment as would be taught in a traditional Buddhist monastery in plain English, in a modern and highly practical context.
Each course builds upon the other as the practitioner receives the very pith of instructions and accumulates wisdom and merit that is supportive toward deeper practices and insights. As you finish a course you will be automatically enrolled in the next course. Please make sure to click the "Complete and Continue" button on each lesson.
Teachings are designed to help you gain a deep understanding of the classical teachings of Buddhism in a clear and lucid way. Our Teachers, Lama Michael and Lama Phillip and many other teachers from diverse backgrounds and genders have years of experience in teaching and long-term retreat experience.Â
About Lama Michael Gregory
Lama Michael Gregory started this community over 25 years ago, as a former Buddhist Monk and Western Buddhist Teacher. He has shared that he can never fully repay the debt of kindness shown to him by several revered figures in Buddhism, including the XIV Dalai Lama, the XVII Karmapa--Orgyen Trinley Dorje, Gyaltsab Rinpoche, Bokar Rinpoche, Thrangu Rinpoche, HH Dodrupchen Rinpoche and Penor Rinpoche. These teachers have offered the empowerment cycles of Rinchen Terzo and Dam Ngak Dzod.
Lama Michael has led hundreds of meditation retreats on almost every subject matter related to Buddhism and has led meditative pilgrimages throughout Thailand, Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, and India. He currently directs the practicing and teaching schedule offering the highest teachings of Maha, Anu, and Ati Yoga in a simple, clear, and direct way with a focus on direct experience and integration of these teachings into daily life as a lived path of awakening.
