Online Courses

When you become an In-Depth member you get access to four online courses from the Wisdom Experience Course Catalog a year, including powerful Lama Alan Wallace courses.

These course are restricted to students who have a solid foundation in the Dharma and a strong commitment to the Buddhist path. Lama Alan Wallace has chosen to limit access to these teachings on Dzogchen due to the possibility of students misunderstanding the subject without having the appropriate background. Students must have received a certificate of completion for the Wisdom Academy course Introduction to Dzogchen to take Restricted Dzogchen Teachings.

Many students have praised Lama Alan Wallace’s online courses for the inspiration they have offered them in their practice and daily lives: 

“I am truly grateful to you to have participated in this course. I’ve been following Lama Alan’s teachings since 2020 and have taken his other courses offered through Wisdom. Lama Alan’s profound understanding and gift of teaching has changed my life.”—Teresa, Wisdom Experience member participating in Atisa’s Pith Instructions on the Middle Way

“I’m grateful to Wisdom and its instructors for providing such wonderful content and interface … Your online courses are really helping me develop. I look forward to what’s coming!”—Peter, Student in The Four Applicaitons of Mindfulness

Restricted Retreats and Talks

Your In-Depth membership will also allow you to hone the insights you gain from courses by engaging in retreats with Lama Alan. Additionally, Lama Alan has a Restricted Talk Series to bring all these learnings together.

1. The Vajra Essence Retreats

This series of retreats presents a wondrous opportunity to deepen your practice of Dzogchen, guided by Lama Alan. Each of the four retreats includes readings, teaching notes, review session notes, and ~100 teaching videos from Lama Alan Wallace, Glen Svensson, and Eva Natanya. Each retreat initially took place our the course of eight weeks; however, they can now be completed at your own pace. Purchased individually, each of these retreats costs nearly as much as one year of In-Depth membership, saving you hundreds of dollars.

2. One-Day Retreats

Follow along with these one-day retreats guided by Lama Alan.

3. Restricted Talk Series on The Enlightened View of Samantabhadra

In this series of talks, Lama Alan guides you through the visionary instructions of Düdjom Lingpa, one of Tibet’s most renowned Dzogchen masters. Lama Alan offers teachings on Düdjom Lingpa’s profound The Enlightened View of Samantabhadra, which guides us through the complete path to buddhahood according to the Great Perfection tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

Please note: Due to the possibility of students misunderstanding the subject without having the appropriate background, Lama Alan has indicated that access to these Dzogchen teachings should be limited to students who have completed the Wisdom Academy course Introduction to Dzogchen.

Books

Your In-Depth membership will also allow you to read 170+ books in our online Reading Room, including the following from Lama Alan.
