This five-week course is an exploration of the Buddhist teachings on the origins of dissatisfaction and suffering. It also offers an introduction and exploration of Mindfulness of Feeling – one of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. There are no prerequisites for this course, and all are very welcome, regardless of their background! Join in person or via Zoom.

The main talks will be pre-recorded by the senior teachers. Each class will also include guided meditations, as well as group discussion and contemplative exercises.

When we recognize the truth of suffering and the confusion that is pervasive in our life, у нас естественно есть вопросы. How does this state of suffering arise?  Where does confusion come from? If we’re inspired by these questions, our innate intelligence begins to explore the subtle layers of our experience, going deeper and deeper until we come to the heart of our being…

Each class will explore the Buddhist teachings on the “Five Skandhas” – the basic factors of experience from which we build a sense of self (i.e. form, чувство, восприятие, concepts, and consciousness). We will touch these layers of experience one by one, and see how we fabricate our own world from our projections.

Сорт 1: Introduction to the Second Noble Truth and how it relates to our construction of ourselves from the five skandhas of experience:

Сорт 2: Form and Feeling

Сорт 3: Perception

Сорт 4: Concepts

Сорт 5: Consciousness

There will be suggested readings from the following books:

Чогьям Трунгпа, Glimpses of Abhidharma

Чогьям Трунгпа, Прорыв через духовный материализм
