The Discovering
Buddhism program is the result of the combined efforts of a
number of FPMT teachers and spiritual program coordinators, under the
guidance and advice of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. It is an estimated 2-year
course for which students may receive a certificate of completion upon
fulfillment of all requirements.
The aim of the Discovering Buddhism program is to give
participants a solid footing in the practice of Mahayana Buddhism. By
engaging in this program, participants will receive an experiential
taste of the Buddha's teachings, some retreat experience, and will have
the skills they need to make their lives most meaningful.
First Topic: Mind and Its Potential — Examine what is "mind,"
its nature and function, and how it affects our experience of happiness
and suffering. Come explore the differentiation between mind and brain,
mind as the creator of our experiences, and the implications of
possessing a mind that has no beginning and no end. In addition, learn
methods to transform destructive thoughts and attitudes and create a
positive and joyous mind.
$25 for 5 weeks.
Led by Ven. Lindy Tasire and
Donna Brown. |
