Experiencing the Buddha’s Teachings: Meditations on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment
Four Noble Truths
In the Buddha’s teaching of Four Noble Truths, he famously laid down the one thing that he taught–suffering and the end of suffering. From this we can derive the Buddha’s take on happiness. In this course we will look at the different types of happiness described in the discourses and try them on to find a fitting one.
The teaching on Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (or Lam Rim in Tibetan) presents a graduated way of learning and practising the teachings of the Buddha in a systematic way. By reflecting and meditating on topics like refuge and karma, we can gradually enhance our positive qualities of kindness and wisdom, and lessen the hold of our harmful habits. In this series, we will look at the practical aspects of how to meditate on the different Buddhist topics effectively. Each weekly session will include an explanation of the topic and pointers on how to work with it in both meditation and daily life, guided meditations to experience the topic for ourselves, and time for discussion and Q&A.
Prerequisites: None, all are welcome.
People who may appreciate this series include those who have studied the Discovering Buddhism course, or the Buddhism in a Nutshell, or Buddhism for Beginners– and are looking to go into more depth; As may those who have been exploring meditation and would like to bring more of the Buddhas teachings into their practice.
