Program update on 1/04/2026

Buddha nature is a central theme for anyone who wishes to progress on the path to enlightenment. This key idea requires profound, precise reflection to be correctly understood.

With this short text, which is both accessible and profound, the 3rd Karmapa Rangjung Dorje (1284–1339 CE) skillfully guides students toward the understanding of the fundamental constituent of a being: Buddha nature This seed of enlightenment is present in each of us right now and is no different at the moment of its actualization.

“There is nothing to remove from it and nothing to add to it. Look fully and fullness; in seeing fullness, you are completely free!” (Maitreya, Treatise of the Supreme Continuum of the Great Vehicle)
