The coursebooks are the core of Discovering the Heart of Buddhism, forming a complete course in themselves. They do more than just provide information. They are carefully structured to lead you on a journey of contemplation and reflection, an exploration into the nature of our being. There are four coursebooks and a course companion, guiding you through nine basic themes of Buddhism.

As well as the coursebooks, the booklet on formless meditation and the book Openness, Clarity, Sensitivity, you will have access to a number of teaching resources online that can be used to support your study on Discovering the Heart of Buddhism:

• Online archive of teachings from weekends and retreats
• Transcripts of some of these teachings
• Other books and booklets
• Discussion forum with fellow students
• Email teachings from Lama Shenpen on the Buddhism Connect email list
