Dharma College: From mind to meaning. --- Dharma College, located in downtown Berkeley, has offerings intended for all people who are curious about exploring the nature of their minds. We offer cutting edge courses, lectures, workshops and seminars to create an avenue for personal participation. Anyone can experience the joy and benefits of a new kind of exploration that stimulates clarity of mind. Our lives and choices are shaped by habits so basic we may not even notice them. Are you ready to ask how these patterns got set up and how they operate? A radical type of inquiry will teach you to befriend your own experience, and to open your mind. Dharma College is dedicated to exploring and disseminating the most liberating knowledge and values of Eastern and Western scholarship for the use and benefit of all beings. This is the right place and now is the right time for the ancient wisdom traditions to influence modern disciplines in a fundamental way. Dharma College was founded by Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche (Tibet, 1935), a traditionally trained teacher and author in the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and Head Lama of the Tibetan Nyingmapa Meditation Center. Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche is the first lama of the Nyingma lineage to establish residence in the United States. Rinpoche established a mandala of organizations to actualize his long-range vision of preserving the ancient teachings of the Buddha and transmitting them to the modern world.
