SEVENTY TOPICS
Seventy Topics is an optional subject for centers offering the FPMT Basic Program; it is not included in the BP review and final exam. The subject is added to BPOL as a complementary course, free of charge. The presentation of the course does not follow the usual BPOL course lay-out; it consists only of a main page, which serves to introduce the subject and the teacher and links to the video recordings. There are thirteen video recordings of the teaching sessions, each approximately two hours long, and starting with a fifteen minute guided meditation. The slides used for the teachings are separately provided in bookmarked PDF format. 70 Topics provides an overview of the Ornament for Clear Realization, the implicit teachings of the Perfection of Wisdom sutras that outline what bodhisattvas need to do in order to become fully enlightened - in addition to realizing emptiness.... The subject is presented here by FPMT Masters Program graduate and experienced teacher and meditation leader Venerable Sangye Khadro, who explains a selection from among the many definitions and divisions, in keeping with the interest of her audience. She generously shares many points of understanding that have touched and inspired her during her studies. Much benefit is to be derived from engaging with these teachings and meditations, whether as a stand-alone course or as an introduction for the study of Chapter 4 of the Ornament. Your enrollment key is 70TOPICS.
