About
Under the spiritual patronage of Khensur Rinpoche Geshe Tashi Tsering, TKSL is a school of Buddhist Science with an emphasis on philosophical teachings relating to the nature and workings of consciousness/cognition; the way things exist; and the difference between how they exist and how they appear to us.

The Buddhist teachings on the subtle body explain how mind and body meet through an intricate system of channels, winds, and drops. In this class, we’ll explore the network of channels (tsa)—the pathways that allow vital energies (winds or lung) and drops (tigle) to move through our system, supporting both physical and mental functioning. The interaction of these aspects of the subtle body shapes ordinary consciousness and likewise in reverse, these aspects can be affected by our mental habits and experiences. Understanding this inner landscape acts as a foundation for practises of the Mantra vehicle, provides us with greater insight into the interrelatedness of our mind and subtle body, and as a preparation for the naturally occurring experiences that dawn at the time of death.
