To study Buddhism is to study the mind. An ancient Buddhist master said, “to study the self is to study the mind.” Everything begins with the mind. What is mind and how to we come to know it? In this half day session we will explore the nature of mind, what is awareness, what is consciousness, and how to practice mindfulness. We will explore these four fundamental concepts from the Buddhist point of view together with scientific and psychological approaches. No prior knowledge of Buddhism is required, although it might be helpful. This teaching session is open to anyone who wants to know how the mind influences what we do and how we do it. The session include teachings and individual and group activities.
Guest teacher Ven. Deok Wun (Russ Pitts) is visiting from New York to teach this half day class. Class is limited to 15 participants.
