Mindfulness Meditation

On Monday's, 19.00 - 20.15 hrs.

Buddhist Philosophy Courses (8) in English

Each course comes in 6 sessions ,

every second Sunday from 18.30 - 20.15 hrs.

The following courses are given regularly. Please, check other postings or mail us for presently programmed courses.
 
Course I: this course explains the basic state of our existence, its suffering nature and the cause of it.
Course II: The Ultimate Nature of the phenomena or Emptiness; the Wisdom aspect of the Buddhist teaching.
Course III: The Bodhisattva Path; the path to Enlightenment for the sake of all beings.
Course IV: Practical Meditations on the Path.
Course V: Mind and its Functions. 
                 - Course V-1:on how the mind knows.
                 - Course V-2: on the 51 Mental Factors.
                 - Course V-3: combination between 1 and 2

                 - Course V-4: introductory course
Course VI: The Three Principles of the Path: Renunciation, Bodhicitta, Wisdom.
Course VII: The Ultimate Wisdom: we focus on the 3rd Principle of the Path - the View on the deeper reality of all phenomena. This Wisdom is the key to the liberation from the fundamental ignorance that keeps us bound to the cyclic existence - or samsara, a kind of existence that is permeated by limitation and dissatisfaction.
Course VIII: A Bodhisattva is someone who strives for Full Enlightenment in order to liberate all beings from the state of suffering and to bring them to the state of Enlightenment. The qualities of such a practitioner can only be obtained by the development of true Wisdom and devoted practice to abandon any selfcherishing for a very long time.
