Fundamental Trainings to Cultivate Lasting Happiness
Buddhist Mind Science Module 4
July 8, 15, 29, August 12, 19, 26
Online course with Margo van Greta
Buddhism is considered by some a “science of mind” because it presents a comprehensive and deep description of the mind of consciousness. It studies its various aspects and functions, and it provides methods to observe it directly and to discover and activate our inner potential. And it does so with one intention: to overcome suffering and its causes and to cultivate true, lasting happiness.
The course "Buddhist Mind Science: Activating Your Potential" aims to introduce you to this knowledge. Focusing on meditation and the mind, it provides practical techniques and insight into the mechanisms of suffering and happiness, finding purpose and mental balance, and how to discover and activate our inner potential for warmheartedness and wisdom, including a comparative modern scientific perspective and with the aim to contribute to the welfare in this world.
This fourth module of the course, “Fundamental Trainings to Cultivate Lasting Happiness” is an introduction to the fundamental practices that Buddhism offers to cultivate the paths that lead to freedom from suffering and its causes. It does this by presenting the possibility of awakening, the maximum expression of our potential. It is complemented by references to current scientific understanding of why is it that we feel unsatisfied, ethics, the development of attention, and wisdom.
Where: Online on Zoom
When: Tuesday, July 8, 15, 29, August 12, 19, 26.
Time: 7.30-9pm BST
