Module 5 - Rebirth, Karma and This Life
This module explores the Buddhist reasoning for the
acceptance of rebirth and reincarnation. We will use the Buddha’s Four Noble
Truths as a framework to help us take stock of our lives, inspire a shift in
the way we see ourselves and the way we relate to the world around us. Lastly,
the module investigates Karma. Karma is often misunderstood in as fate or
pre-destination. Karma however, if understood well, presents us with an
opportunity to be free from our suffering.
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.
