Module 2 - The Great Deception – Understanding death and impermanence
This module takes us on a journey from an investigation of
death and impermanence, through deep reflection on change and interdependence,
to an appreciation of the immeasurable, indefinable potential of the true
nature of our mind that is revealed beyond a mind that grasps at simple
appearance.
“So, learn to die. And thou shall learn how to live. They
shall non learn how to live, that had not learned to die”
This course takes participants on an experiential journey
through The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, giving you a taste of its major
themes and their practical implications. Suitable for people of any
religion or
of none, the course encourages you to reflect on the Buddhist teachings, to see
what makes sense to you and to experiment with applying these teachings in your
daily life.
Participants in this course will learn:
· How to meditate
· How an acceptance of impermanence can help us understand death and change our attitude towards life
· How meditation can transform our perception, increase our confidence and fully connect us to the world around us
· That mind is much more than just thoughts and
emotions
Led by Western meditation instructors with many years of experience, each session consists of:
· Video teachings from Tibetan and Western Buddhist masters including Sogyal Rinpoche, Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche, Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, Mingyur Rinpoche, Pema Chödrön and Sharon Salzberg.
· Meditation practice
· Time for contemplation
· Group discussions and Q&A, offering each
student the opportunity to explore the teachings and practices in an open
supportive environment and to connect with a community of practitioners.
