Getting to Know Your Mind
Buddhist Mind Science: Activating Your Potential
Module 3
Tuesday 13 May, 7.30-9pm BST, six weekly sessions.
Online with Margo van Greta
In this module, we focus on the mind. Understanding how the mind works is a prerequisite to then transforming it, cultivating qualities that help us develop our potential and that gradually build up a sense of lasting happiness, and also abandoning those behaviours and attitudes that harm us.
The module starts expanding the guidelines seen in previous modules on how to cultivate focused attention, which is an essential tool in this journey. Then, it moves into exploring the nature of the mind, how the mind is stained and how such stains can be removed. It concludes with a deeper exploration of the mind that includes its depth and vastness, and also its continuity and that of the actions that we do.
Sessions
Sessions include teachings, discussions, meditations, and a quiz.
You will receive a course manual for study and practice at home.
Where: Online on Zoom
When: Tuesday, May 13, 20, 27 June 3, 10, 17.
Time: 7.30-9pm BST
Suggested donation £95/70/45
