"Welcome to CBS ONLINE, the Online Learning site for Rangjung Yeshe Institute and the Centre for Buddhist Studies at Kathmandu University. Rangjung Yeshe Institute’s Centre for Buddhist Studies (RYI, CBS) is based in Boudhanath, Kathmandu, Nepal, where we offer a program that combines traditional monastic and western academic education, allowing our students to experience the diversity and depth of two complementary scholarly traditions in their pursuit of Buddhist Studies.

We begin our Online Learning journey with an exposition of the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā by Nāgārjuna, a classic Buddhist text that uses logic to challenge all of our assumptions about the nature of reality. This text is thaught over the span of two semesters. The course offered during the Fall semester covers the first half of the text, and runs from August 31, 2009 until December 11, 2009. The second half of the text will be thaught during the Spring semester, which begins January 11, 2010 and ends April 23. The Interactive versions of this semester's course includes all of the course material taught in this class at RYI and CBS in Boudhanath, Nepal, plus additional materials prepared especially for the online course...."
