  I don't agree with mr omniknight but I do agree that bohiruci's comments don't make much sense at times.
  
  Back to topic, I don't agree with the curriculum of the Diploma as it subscribes to a more narrow knowledge of Buddhism.

  Hi HZ,
  
  Not really.
  
  As this course is a 1-year one, thus the college focuses on Early Buddhism.
  
  If u wish to hv a comprehensive one, u k try the 3-yr course by TMBS here http://www.tmbs.org.sg/courses-adult.html .
  
  Alternatively, u k progress further to Degree here http://www.mangalavihara.org.sg/bpc.html .

  if you put what you've learnt into practise, your suffering will cease.

  if one learn to become a Buddhism scholar, what u are doing is fo2 xua2 . but if you are learning to be a Buddha, then that is truely xua2 fo2 .
  ya, the latter should be more important.
  can do both also not bad though.
