An introductory Buddhist studies intensive, combining study and a meditation practicum at a retreat center in the Kathmandu Valley will also be offered.
In addition, this year CBS is offering a new graduate-level, for-credit Advanced Tibetan Reading Seminar to be taught by Professor Klaus-Dieter Mathes from the Univ. of Vienna and Professor Yaroslav Komarovski from the Univ. of Nebraska.
The spoken language courses, which are structured to offer full immersion in the local languages and cultures, offer the opportunity to live with Tibetan and Nepalese families. All classes are held at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery, just a few minutes’ walk from the Great Stupa of Boudhanath in the Kathmandu Valley. This summer's courses begin June 13 and end August 10.
