Exploring the Foundation of Buddhist Vipashyana Practice
Thursdays, 6-7.30pm – September 7th, 14th & 21st 2023
During this 3-week course, we will be introduced to three of the four close applications of mindfulness, which form the foundation of Buddhist insight (vipashyana/vipassana) practice. These include mindfulness of the body, mindfulness of feelings, and mindfulness of the mind and mental states.
Vipashyana (in sanskrit, in Pali: vipassanā) means to ‘see things as they really are’. It is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation, taught by the Buddha 2,600 years ago. A central message of the Buddha’s teachings is that the mind can be permanently freed by integrating the cultivation of meditative quiescence (shamatha) and contemplative insight (vipashyana).
Week 1: Mindfulness of the Body
Week 2: Mindfulness of Feelings
Week 3: Mindfulness of the Mind & Mental States
These classes consist of guided meditations, talks and discussions covering a different aspect of Buddhist meditation each week.
