Doctor of Divinity (DDiv) degree

Doctor of Divinity (DDiv; Latin: Doctor Divinitatis) is an advanced or honorary academic degree in divinity. Some institutions use the abbreviation of the designation (DD) or (PhD) for the same.

Prajnaparamita School confers the Doctorate of Divinity (DDiv) degree to spiritual scholars of the divine arts who have satisfied the requirements.

Doctor of Divinity (DDiv), by definition, is absorbed in spirituality, putting to practice the divine art of living, and transformation of the human as it advances the mystical wisdom of the spirit.

In comparison with Master of Divinity that has to illustrate mastery of the subject matter at hand., Doctor of Divinity typically makes unique contributions, adding to the body of knowledge.

Doctor of Divinity (DDiv) is not the same as Doctor of Theology (ThD), which is a research degree awarded by academic institutions. Doctor of Theology studies are by definition not necessarily involved in spirituality, putting in practice the divine arts of living, and transformation of the human as it advances the mystical wisdom of the spirit, which is what the Doctor of Divinity is by definition.

Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree

Master of Divinity (MDiv or M.Div) degree is awarded as the first professional degree in Divinity. You will need this degree to teach the spiritual tradition and instruct aspirants in the various aspects of spirituality on this Path.

Master of Divinity typically are ordained by Wayism International in one or more roles within the devotional community.

Those who hold Wayist Master of Divinity train and teach devotees not only in theology and metaphysical laws but also different meditation styles, different sub-paths best suited for the individual (read upaya), and act as lifestyle coach, relationship guidance, and more.

Master of Divinity may specialize or go the general direction. One can specialize in areas such as philosophy, yoga, priesthood, metaphysics, or sangha.

Bachelor of Divinity (BDiv) degree

Bachelor of Divinity (BDiv) degrees from Prajnaparamita School of Divinity is awarded after completion of 600 hours of online studies, exams and papers. This is equivalent to the time spent on a secular Bachelor of Arts degree, but we are a self-paced program.

If credits are transferred from another institution or program (such as Pneumatherapy), at least 200 hours of study must be completed in the BDiv program.

Credits from other institutions are typically awarded for some of the hours spent on religious studies, world religions, philosophy of religion, pneumatherapy, Buddhist studies, Hindu studies, Daoist studies, Yogi Philosophy, Biblical studies, Sanskrit, Koine Greek.

Doctor of Pneumatherapy (Pn.D)

Outcomes

After this course you will own a very good overview of the place of Wayism in the world of spiritual traditions. As you read the materials and brief discussions, without thinking, your dharma will make your soul jump when a truth resonates in your soul. Those are your truths, the truth your soul recognizes as truth because it already knows it. When those feeling happen, you will know why other traditions never really made your soul happy–it was waiting for this. Initially, when the soul reaches out and grabs at its truths, there may be just a few and you will know that in time your soul will mature and you will grow into enlightenment and more, deeper truths will become you.

On the contrary, when you read the material and brief discussions and nothing jumps out at you, your soul does not be moved by the content and the mind gets stuck on things–then Wayism is not your truth. There are many path and our souls keep searching to find its Path. It is a joyous, emotional thing when the soul finds its Path. It is something that drives us to celebrate and it brings inner-transformation. If these things do not happen to you when working through this course, then Wayism is not yet for you–maybe another day.

You will find that wisdom is not something of which you have to become convinced by rational thinking. Wisdom comes from within, as if the soul minds are fascinated by the concept, the soul minds embrace it, loves it, and your body mind seems to know it and own it. That is your wisdom, your soul owns it and it cannot be taken from you.
