------------ Buddhist Philosophy Class Online ------------ TibetNet 26 July 2006 Dharamshala: Gone are the days, when the attendance at the packed classroom of the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, often overflows to the corridors, where students, sitting cross-legged on the floor to the stairs, are seen ruminating over a faint echo of the teachings for the day. Now are the days, when in addition to about 100 foreigners here, who regularly attend the daily, two classes on Buddhist philosophy and practice, hundreds more could join online, as the live webcast of these classes have already begun on www.ltwa.net or www.tibetanlibrary. The Library offers two, hour-long classes, from 11 a.m. to 12 noon (IST +5:30 GMT), in which highly qualified lamas teach "courses focused on specific Indian/Tibetan texts or on specific topics of Buddhist philosophy and practice", which are also translated into English. In addition to an archive of previous recordings, the site also features books published by the Library. "The main objective of this website is to make the vast resources of the Library accessible to the growing number of Tibetans and non-Tibetans, who rely on Internet for information about Tibet and Tibetan studies," said Geshe Lhakdor, the director of the Library. "Before too long, we will also post the vast audio-visual materials and resources of various departments of the Library, like Museum, along with a complete database of all the available books and manuscripts, on the web. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
