The objective of this program is to develop among the students the capacity to explore the nature of reality at an initial stage with respect to the external and internal world with the study of various systems of philosophical schools through Shravan, Chintan and Bhavana, the three progressive stages for internalization and transformative process. Since Nyaya (logic), Pramana (epistemology and cognitive science) and Manovigyana (Psychology) are instrumental in facilitating the study of philosophy, they are important components of philosophical study. With deeper knowledge of the nature of reality, students can engage deeper in research, writing and teaching, and in their engagement in spirituality.
At the Shastri level, along with Buddhist philosophy, many other subjects: Sanskrit Language (compulsory), Tibetan language (compulsory), English and Hindi (one to be opted from two), Tibetan History, Asian History, Political Science, Economics, Special Sanskrit and Pali (one to be opted from six) are provided for wider exposure.
