The original six talks were each 2 hours long. They are divided into shorter videos of 15-40 minutes for this course. The course starts with a separate video of a guided White Tara practice, which can be used for short practice sessions at the beginning of each class. It ends with several video clips containing questions and answers from the live sessions.
Published editions of the chants that we will be studying may be ordered from the Nalanda Translation Committee.
