Sobre el curso

Este curso es parte de una serie de cinco cursos que brinda una exploración exhaustiva del camino Hinayana basándose en enseñanzas de maestros destacados y fuentes clásicas.. El énfasis está en cultivar maitri o amistad con uno mismo., y sobre las enseñanzas de Shambhala sobre la bondad básica, gentileza y valentía – permitiéndonos enfrentar la condición humana moderna con espíritu guerrero y dignidad..

Este curso ofrece una exploración de la naturaleza del sufrimiento desde la perspectiva de las Cuatro Marcas de la Existencia.: Impermanencia, Sufrimiento, Selflessness and Peace – and how we can meet suffering with maitri, o amistad incondicional. Los profesores también guiarán a los estudiantes en la exploración y práctica de Mindfulness of Body., el primero de los Cuatro Fundamentos de la Atención Plena.

En sus primeras enseñanzas, el Buda enseñó que el sufrimiento de la existencia samsárica es la primera noble verdad. Ese sufrimiento es cambiante y impermanente., y surge de infinitas causas y condiciones. Se siente intensamente personal (mío), y, En realidad, es una de las bases que utilizamos para construir nuestra identidad (yo y mis problemas), which is called “mistaking what has no self for a self.» This state of mind generates constant underlying fear and anxiety. Cuando reconocemos estas simples verdades de la existencia, impermanencia, sufrimiento, y la ausencia de un verdadero yo, podemos experimentar la paz del nirvana.
