Details
A course to dive deeper into a fundamental Buddhist teaching
The Buddha once said that mindfulness leads to the “deathless.” What did he mean? He’s suggesting that we’re sleepwalking through life, not really awake and alive. We're so often caught up in habit and convention, and this makes our minds scattered, dull, and limited. We don’t see the sky-like quality of the mind, and just how bright, open, and luminous life could be.
Join us for this five-week course to explore in-depth the Buddha’s radical teaching on awareness: how to discover the true power of the mind, so that we can be truly alive.
What can you expect?
There’ll be presentations, guided meditation, and time for discussion. We'll be unpacking traditional Buddhist texts in a way that is rarely accessible outside of retreats. These practices will point us towards both understanding and experiencing the luminous nature of our own minds.
