Discovering Buddhism module 12 Wisdom of Emptiness From Tuesday 9 January 2024 Margo van Greta
Emptiness, or sunyata, is the ultimate truth, the actual way in which everything exists, and is the most profound of all Buddha's teachings. Lama Zopa Rinpoche in his Wisdom Energy says: "Each and every meditational dharma practice has been taught for only one reason: to lead beings to the correct view of reality-that all things are empty of independent existence." Understanding emptiness is vital not only to free ourselves from all confusion, problems and suffering we experience in our daily lives and in cyclic existence, but also to fulfil our highest potential: attaining enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. This course will provide you with the introduction to emptiness and how to meditate on it.
The classes will be a combination of teaching, discussion and meditation. You will get access to the online material: audio teachings and PDF transcript, extra recommended reading, and a review quiz to check your understanding.
This module is open to both experienced students as well as new ones.
