Distance Learning Courses

We offer a range of courses for students at all levels of practice--and in all parts of the world. Our distance learning courses allow students to discover the essence of Buddhism through their own experience. Lama Shenpen sometimes calls her philosophy of teaching "spiral learning," to indicate how we need to return again and again to the core themes of Buddhism. Our distance learning study curriculum is designed to help you deepen your experience and understanding.

The core course is Discovering the Heart of Buddhism, a distance learning course that introduces us to the essence of the Buddhist teachings and guides us in the exercises, reflections and meditation practice needed to experience their truth for ourselves. Everything we need to awaken fully is contained within these core themes.

Trusting the Heart of Buddhism follows on from Discovering the Heart of Buddhism and introduces us to the Endless Compassionate Vision of the Buddhist path. For more information email office@ahs.org.uk.

Living the Awakened Heart is the name that encapsulates a variety of events and materials that support the long-term training of students in six vital areas. For more information email office@ahs.org.uk.

Online Courses: From time to time, we offer online courses to deepen our understanding of particular topics. Generally these courses are only available to members or current DHB students. For more information email office@ahs.org.uk.
