taught by our resident teacher Geshe Tenzin Legtsok,
and our beloved teacher Venerable Angie Muir.

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 6: All About Karma
Learn the essential facts about the law of cause and effect in relation to actions and their results. Generate a clear understanding about how karma works. Discover effective tools to accumulate merit—the cause of happiness and success—and purify mistaken actions done in the past. Explore ways to become adept at dealing with life more effectively and thereby take control of your future.

Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for attending this program.
Discovering Buddhism is an entry-level program
in Buddhist philosophy and practice.
Geshe Legtsok has shared his intention to begin teaching the
FPMT Basic Program
in June 2028.
Discovering Buddhism is highly recommended as a
preparation for the Basic Program.
Born in Scotland, in 1970, Venerable Angie
Muir obtained a Bachelor's Degree in
1992. Feeling disillusioned with her prospective career
path and life ahead of her, she left Scotland and combined
travelling with work in Asia for 3 years until in 1995 she
felt a calling to go to India to explore meditation and
find her life path. Within a few months she “had the
incredible fortune due to some previous karma” to discover
Tibetan Buddhism, and meet her main spiritual teacher
Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche (of almost 30 years) and become
ordained.
Venerable Angie has been a Buddhist nun for over 25
years. During this time, she served at Lama Zopa
Rinpoche's residences in the U.S. for 13 years. In
addition to doing various personal retreats, she has
offered service, teaching, and leading meditation at other
FPMT centers.

All our Dharma teachings and events are offered on a
dana (generosity) basis
— in the spirit of giving freely, just
as the Buddha taught. This is a beautiful opportunity to support
the teachings and open your heart through generosity.
There is no charge to attend, and no one is turned away. While
teachings are free, your support helps keep the Center running
and makes these precious teachings available to others. We have
included suggested donation amounts to help guide your offering.
Ordained sangha are warmly welcome to attend free of charge.
