The knowledge that seems most self-evident is this: ‘I am here’. Suppose we make this knowledge our starting point. Can we awaken curiosity about the significance of this statement?

This course accepts this invitation from Tarthang Tulku’s book, Sacred Dimensions of Time and Space. We will tap into the group’s creativity and curiosity to explore, question, and challenge the unexamined assumptions we have relied upon to structure our reality. Through this exploration, we may discover new dimensions of experience that have the potential to expand our worldview and transcend the limitations imposed by our standard way of looking at things.

This is a live online course that is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners of the TSK vision. The course features group discussion, readings, and short contemplations. All sessions are held on Zoom.
