The Buddhist approach intersects with philosophy, religion, and the science of the mind, and offers a unique perspective on finding true happiness.
With just a small taste of the expansive worldview of Buddhism, we can begin to challenge our beliefs by encouraging an open-minded and curious mindset. Through personal investigation and observation, we can integrate the teachings and begin to apply them directly to our own experience.
Join us in this in-depth short course where we explore ethical principles, examine the commonalities among religions, and discover how embracing the Buddhist path can lead to a meaningful and peaceful life.
“Some of the Buddha’s ideas will be new to you and may challenge some of your deeply held beliefs. Be open-minded and curious, investigate these ideas, and observe your mind. Check the teachings using reasoning and apply them to your life to see if they describe your experience. Do not accept them simply because the Buddha taught them, and don’t reject them simply because they are foreign to your existing ideas.”
– HH the Dalai Lama
