Philosophical Underpinnings

Philosophical Image

The teachings of Guru Padmasambhava serve as the basis for the philosophy of The Bhutan Baccalaureate. At the heart of Guru Padmasambhava’s teaching is the realization of primordial wisdom (yeshey – ཡེ་ཤེས), which is understood as the recognition of one’s innate awakened state.

 

Similarly, The Bhutan Baccalaureate sees as its mission the harnessing or awakening of the primordial wisdom of every learner. Learners engage in a sustained process of self-introspection in order to recognize that they are fundamentally pure, joyful, wholesome, creative and ever-evolving. An important feature of Padmasambhava’s teachings is the practice of unearthing treasures (Terma – གཏེར་མ) by treasure-discoverers (Terton – གཏེར་སྟོན). The Bhutan Baccalaureate similarly seeks to enable learners to become their own treasure-discoverers and unearth within themselves the various treasures that form a part of their innate being, their primordial wisdom.
