DB1: MIND AND ITS POTENTIAL
Registration for Module 1 is closed. Stay tuned for our next module, Discovering Buddhism Module 2. Dates yet to be announced.
To understand the Buddhist worldview, it is necessary to appreciate the central role of the mind or consciousness. According to Buddha, the mind is not physical, not the handiwork of a creator or our parents, It is beginningless and endless and possesses Buddha-Nature.
In this module we will explore what is "mind," its nature and function and how the mind affects our experience of happiness and suffering. We will also address the relationship between the mind and the brain; how it is the creator of all our experiences; the implications of a mind without a beginning nor an end and the different levels of consciousness.
Teacher: Venerable Lobsang Damchoe
Dates: Sept 15,22 & 29; Oct 6 & 13; 7PM- 8:30PM
