Two of the most fascinating chapters of Vasubandhu’s Treasury of Abhidharma are the chapters on the world and on karmic cause and effect. In this online class, Khenpo David Karma Choephel will go through these two chapters in detail according to the commentary by the Ninth Karmapa Wangchuk Dorje.
Taught in English ONLY !!

Please find the below links for your webcast for Khenpo David online teaching.
This online Foundations in Abhidharma course will be based on the book Jewels from the Treasury, which is available from your favorite booksellers and online through KTD Publications at https://www.namsebangdzo.com/Jewels-from-the-Treasury-p/17840.htm
However, it may be difficult to get the text in the time given the current situation, so we have posted PDFs of the root text (Tibetan and English) and the commentary online.

Note: Khenpo will plan to finish by Sunday, June 28, but it is possible we might get through all the material a few days earlier.
Also, we will have the classes every day except Mondays, and it is possible we will have a few days in the middle when there will be other events at the monastery and no class—likely June 5 & 6, but possibly another weekend as well.
