- through Henry Oudin

Published on

Since 1996, the Institute of Buddhist Studies has had the vocation of making the reality of Buddhism accessible and understandable, in Asia and in the West, from its origins to the present day.

By offering a non-denominational and non-sectarian approach to Buddhism, the IEB occupies a unique place in the contemporary intellectual and spiritual landscape. The teaching team, made up of both university-level researchers and experienced practitioners of the different Buddhist paths, thus opens up a free space for reflection located halfway between the university and the Buddhist centers of study and practice.

The IEB offers courses to be taken on its premises in Paris in the presence of the teacher, or remotely via a delayed video recording (accessible to all registered participants).

Classes start soon but registration is still possible throughout the year. To access the 2019-2020 training catalog: https://bouddhismes.net/

For this year 2019-2020, the IEB offers new approaches while continuing the substantive program which includes regular courses on the foundations of Buddhism and Asian schools (cycles 1 and 2), and major themes approached from different angles. .

New this year, the IEB offers a cycle of courses on the History and Sciences of Religions, fields which make it possible to shed light on the place of Buddhism among the great religions and to take a look "in perspective" on teaching. of the Buddha. Among the series of courses on themes chosen this year, the IEB offers a series of courses on the experience of death and the practices attached to it, a fundamental reflection on ethics and the rules of Buddhist discipline, and a discovery of poetic literature inspired by Buddhist spiritual experience. A classic Mahayana text, the Diamond Sutra will be studied in the workshop while a second workshop, practice this one, proposes to make you discover the drawing and the Tibetan Buddhist painting according to the art of Thankas.
