At the heart of monastic education lies the profound study of Buddhist philosophy, a path to understanding the nature of reality, the mind, and the causes of suffering and liberation. Rooted in the teachings of the Buddha, this course explores essential doctrines such as the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, dependent origination, and the nature of emptiness. Guided by learned monks and scholars, students engage in deep contemplation, scriptural study, and guided debate, fostering both intellectual clarity and spiritual growth. Studying Buddhist philosophy in the peaceful setting of a monastery allows for a transformative journey of wisdom, compassion, and insight.
