課程中，法王噶瑪巴提出了藏傳經論中的一些議題，別是有關藏漢譯文中的差異。如漢傳中的彌勒菩薩五部論和藏傳中所提到的彌勒五部論典即有所不同，運用來自論典中的內在證據來說明論典的先後順序。
Gyalwang Karmapa gave a scholarly overview of some of the issues in the Tibetan canon, with particular reference to differences between Tibetan and Chinese texts. He focused on the Tibetan and Chinese versions of the Five Works of Maitreya, using internal evidence from the texts themselves to argue a logical order.

法王繼續給予大眾，本課程之主文－第九世噶瑪巴旺秋多傑所撰的《除惑獅子吼聲》口傳。
He also began the transmission of the main text for the teaching : The Lion’s Roar that Destroys Confusion by 9th Karmapa Wangchuk Dorje.
