Study and Practice
SIA identifies two groups of students: those with a general interest in Buddhism, and those specifically following the teachings and instructions of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. For both categories SIA offers a program of teachings and practice, called the Gate of Knowledge.
For those who wish to follow Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche's specific teachings on the Buddhist path, SIA offers the Gate of Practice with the possibility of following Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche's Guided Gradual Practice under the guidance of a personal instructor.
This website presents the public Gate of Knowledge programs. Persons interested in following the Gate of Practice program may contact Jakob Leschly: jakob@si.org.au
