The 3 main axes of the master's degree
- •contexts: a foundation on the history of Buddhist traditions and encounters between Buddhism and the West
- •themes: the bulk of the training, of subjects or thematic modules, which will address philosophical (death and impermanence, identity and interdependence, etc.), psychological (desire and pleasure, etc.) and ethical-political issues (care, non-violence, the ethics of co-responsibility, etc.)
- •contemplative practices: a practical accompaniment that roots the study through contemplative exercises
