      Serkong Rinpoche will give a teaching on the Dependent Arising and Emptiness on the basis of Candrakīrti’s commentary The Clear Words.
      This treatise is considered the most important commentary on the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā, the Foundation of Wisdom, rarely explained in the West.

  • Thought Education and Emotional Hygiene



    • In June 2020, we will also launch a follow-up on-line study program

      Thought Training and Emotional Hygiene.

      The aim of this new on-line course, which will be presented during Serkong Rinpoche’s teachings, is to bring the Buddha’s words as interpreted by the great Indian masters of Nalanda, such as Nagarjuna and Chandrakirti, closer to a wider audience.
      Tutors for this new on-line course, Fabrizio Pallotti and Atisha Mathur, will provide philosophical and logical insights (in English and Italian) as a follow-up to Serkong Rinpoche’s May teachings on the Clear Word of Chandrakirti.

      Registration opens in June 2020!

  • Preliminary teachings for those who wish to attend Serkong Rinpoche's teachings

      At the request of Serkong Rinpoche, Atisha Mathur and Fabrizio Pallotti gave the preliminary teachings at ILTK from 20th to 23rd February.
      The main aim of this preliminary session is to introduce and clarify the logical structure of this precious text and meditations related to it. We will delve deeper into the meaning of these preliminary subjects through explanations, examples, discussions, debate and Q&A sessions, as well as analytical meditation on the subjects.
      Our main reference material will be The Science and Philosophy in the Indian Classics, chapter 2 “Methods of Inquiry: Critical Reflection and Four Reliances”, and the first two chapters of the Exposition of Valid Cognition.
      • Three means of Valid Cognition
      • The Principle of Direct Contradiction and Elimination of the Other
      • Precise Boundaries of the Object of Negation
      • Definition of Ignorance or Wrong Consciousness
      • Introduction to the Truth of Cessassion Master

      Nagarjuna is the pioneer of this tradition of transcendental wisdom that developed from the Sutras on the Perfection of Wisdom. Each of His words is an ocean of vast and profound meanings that lead to the complete development of human qualities. In fact, Rinpoche requested preliminary sessions to guide and support students, so they can later truly benefit from his teachings.
