Discovering Buddhism Series - Establishing a daily practice

For this series you need to register via our website: https://www.maitreya.nl/nl/programma/db-module-8-establishing-a-daily-practice-1/2026-03-02 (both at our center in Amsterdam Oost as well as online).

The goal of this series is to awaken the limitless potential of your mind and achieve peace of mind and happiness. This is a foundational series in Buddhist philosophy and practice, aimed at giving students a solid footing in the practice of Mahayana Buddhism. By engaging in this series, students gain a theoretical and experiential taste of the Buddha’s teachings, into Buddhist meditation, and the skills you need to make your life most meaningful. Discovering Buddhism is developed by an array of international teachers from FPMT under the guidance of Lama Zopa Rinpoche. It is designed not only as an academic study of Buddhism - it is meant to change your life!

Assemble the tools you need to develop a successful daily practice and find out the elements necessary to generate realizations in the mind and discuss tips for making every action of the day meaningful.

We will also explore questions such as:

• How do we know what meditations to do when structuring our daily practice?
• What can we do to overcome obstacles in our practice?
• How can we purify the negativities that have accumulated in our minds?
• What is an altar, what is a mandala, and what are their roles in daily practice?

This module will also enable students to have hands-on experience with the different components of a daily practice, including how to do prostrations, make offerings, practice purification, and rejoice.
