SUMMARY:Foundation Course
DESCRIPTION:(HYBRID) Key Buddhist principles to help us live with an ope
 n heart and a clear mind. Buddha's teachings offer a profound yet practi
 cal approach to daily life\, taking the very essence of our unique poten
 tial to make our lives most meaningful and satisfying.What is our potent
 ial as human beings? And if we all have a potential for buddhahood\, how
  can we go about developing it? How do we incorporate ‘eastern’ idea
 s of karma and reincarnation without being superstitious? And how can we
  develop compassion and care in a world riven by strife and distraction?
 The Buddha’s wisdom is extremely practical – and you don’t need to
  be a Buddhist to benefit! Discover how to integrate the Buddha’s wisd
 om into our hectic daily lifestyle\, and find an authentic spiritual pat
 h that is relevant to your own experience. Then learn how to put it all 
 together into an effective and stable daily practice.Each class includes
  a presentation on key elements of Buddhist philosophy\, and how they re
 late to modern life as well as enhancing the richness of our inner world
 . There will be short meditations and opportunities to ask questions.Top

 n\n\n\n“I hope that you understand what the word ‘spiritual’ reall
 y means. It means to search for – to investigate – the true nature o
 f the mind. There’s nothing spiritual outside. My rosary isn’t spiri
 tual\; my robes aren’t spiritual. Spiritual means the mind and spiritu
 al people are those who seek its nature.”Lama Thubten Yeshe\n\n\n\n\n\
