Following His Holiness' advice, Geshe Wangmo is translating the Second Chapter of Dharmakirti's Pramāņavarttika. In accord with the methodology for teaching this ancient text at IBD and the great Tibetan monastic universities, Dharmatkirti's terse verses are embedded into Geshe Wangmo's translation of Gyaltsab (Darma Rinchen) Je's commentary. Furthermore, Geshe Wangmo, having received oral teachings on this text by several contemporary masters, has translated selected portions of those and inserted these explanations into the text she has prepared for this course.The text for this Fall term has been completed -- although, per usual, revisions may be made to the text as the term progresses. Furthermore, the text used during the Spring term has been somewhat amended/corrected: A Summary of the last section of the Spring 2015 text [Ascertaining that the Instances [satisfy] the Definition} & its Study Questions have been added.
The text for this Fall 2015 term begins with a section entitled, The Attributes, on page 66.
