Elaine Jackson Buddhist Mind Science, Module 6

#### The Nature of Perception

How do we perceive things? Is the way we perceive things accurate? Does the way we perceive things influence in our experiences of happiness and suffering? What is the relationship within perception and wisdom? Could an accurate, wise, way of perceiving things be a source of well-being and freedom from suffering?

We will explore such questions from an experiential point of view, using both scientific and Buddhist knowledge of the mind and meditation, in a journey that may translate into increasing lasting happiness and a positive impact on oneself, others, and the world.

The course “The nature of perception” focuses on wisdom. It reflects on its meaning, relevance, and how it counteracts the causes of suffering. It goes deeper into the most profound aspect of wisdom: understanding the nature of reality. It concludes with the nature of mind which makes full awakening possible and it is complemented by references to current scientific understanding on wisdom and well-being and the process of perception.
