Discovering Buddhism
Join a new cycle of Discovering Buddhism — a fresh opportunity for students of all backgrounds to explore the foundations of the Buddhist path together.
The two-year FPMT foundational-level program is offered in a hybrid format, taught by our resident teacher Geshe Tenzin Legtsok, and our beloved teacher Venerable Angie Muir. Explore an overview of the 2-year Discovering Buddhism curriculum offered from June 2026 to June 2028, hosted collaboratively by Ocean of Compassion and Land of Medicine Buddha.
Become part of a new cohort of students to learn, grow your spiritual practice, and study with our wonderful teachers.
Module 5: Death and Rebirth

Learn how accepting the reality of death and preparing for it helps us fulfill our purpose in life, resolve conflicts, and develop skills to help both ourselves and others at the time of death. Come to understand how eventually, through Buddhist practice, we can overcome death altogether.
