Module 6 - The Spiritual Path
The first declaration that the Buddha made at the time of
his enlightenment was: “Profound peace, free of complexity, natural simplicity,
uncompounded luminosity.” This module examines what is enlightenment and
explores the practical training of the Tibetan Buddhist Dzogchen Path in terms
of View, Meditation, and Action. To see directly the absolute state, the Ground
of our being, is the View; the way of stabilizing that View and making it an
unbroken experience is Meditation; and integrating the View into our entire
reality, and life, is what is meant by Action.
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.
