SUMMARY:DISCOVERING BUDDHISM: Presenting the Path
DESCRIPTION:(HYBRID) Discover the unique system for putting Buddhist phi
 losophy into practice\, contained in the Lam Rim\, or “graduated path 
 to enlightenment”. Gain a clear idea of the path to enlightenment\, es
 pecially its three main components: renunciation (the determination to e
 merge from cyclic existence)\, bodhicitta (the wish to help all others i
 n the best possible way) and the correct view (understanding dependent a
 rising and emptiness as two sides of the one coin).\n\n\n\nWe outline th
 e progressive\, step-like structure of the lam-rim\, with its origin in 
 the teachings of Guru Shakyamuni Buddha. We cover the three scopes\, and
  where they fit in our present stage of spiritual development. Discover 
 what to do next\, and how to get from here to enlightenment!\n\n\n\n“I
 f your path teaches you to act and exert yourself correctly and leads to
  spiritual realizations such as love\, compassion and wisdom then obviou
 sly it’s worthwhile.”Lama Thubten Yeshe\n\n\n\nThis unit takes a loo
 k at the entire path to enlightenment – and is suitable for both the c
 ommitted beginner and more established students. This is a great unit to
  first join\, as it gives a comprehensive overview\, including all the t
 opics in other units\, and most importantly - how to put integrate the p
 ath into daily life!\n\n\n\nTopics in this course include:\n\n\n\n\nLife
  story of the Buddha and how it mirrors our own\n\n\n\nShort history of 
 Buddhism and the difference between Hinayana and Mahayana\n\n\n\nThe cor
 rect way to listen to the teachings and get the most benefit from them\n
 \n\n\nThe three scopes on the path to enlightenment\n\n\n\nThe four nobl
 e truths\n\n\n\n\n“In my mind\, one of the beauties of Buddhism is tha
 t it offers us a practical training for our mind. It does not say\, ‘B
 odhicitta is fantastic because Buddha said so!’ Instead\, it gives us 
 the methods for developing such an attitude and we can then see for ours
 elves whether it works or not\, whether it is fantastic or not.”Lama T
 hubten Yeshe\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\
