A map to your mind
The Abhidharma teachings of Buddhism frames the psychological system of Buddhism, explaining the workings of reality and the nature of the human mind. It is composed of detailed matrixes and lists that outline the interaction of consciousness, reality, perception and experience.
While the material is vast and complex, in this short introductory course we will contextualize the Abhidharma in practical applications, meditation instructions. We will explore and gain a better understanding of why the Abhidharma teachings are so precious, profound and are essential if we want to gain awakening.
The course will be appropriate for beginners (we will first contextualize the practice) as well as for advanced practitioners (we will then explore the practice from the perspective of the Nature of Mind – the highest teachings in Buddhism). Key to understand the teachings is to be open, curious, and engage in practices that propel us increasingly deeper into the human mind, how it works, and how we experience reality.
The course will be taught in English - the reference material is translated from Tibetan into English.
Eine Stunde Arbeitsmeditation pro Tag (Samu/Karma Yoga) ist integraler Bestandteil bei allen Aufenthalten im Felsentor.
