Canadian Institute of Buddhist Studies Society

Learning from the Buddha means emulating the thinking, speech, and conduct of the Buddha

To escape the sufferings of samsara, we must study the recorded Dharma discourses and Buddhist books of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, establish correct knowledge and views, discern whether a guru is righteous or not, and diligently cultivate and practice Dharma

About Us
