Choe Khor Sum Ling, a Tibetan Buddhist Meditation & Study Centre, is announcing the beginning of a new course – ‘Introduction to Buddhist psychology: Mind & Mental Factors” on Sunday, June 26, 2011.
The great Tibetan master Gon-pa-wa said, “To eliminate disturbing emotions, you must know their faults, their characteristics, their remedies, and the causes for their arising. Once you know the root and secondary afflictions, then when any attachment, hostility, or such arises in your mind-stream, you can identify it thinking , “this is that, now it has arisen – and fight the disturbing emotion.”
The course is based on a text written by the great 18th century Tibetan master Kachen Yeshe Gyeltsen, following Abhidharma tradition of Buddhist thought. It will provide a detailed overview of the mind and the various virtuous and non-virtuous mental and emotional states that color and control it, which are known as the 51 mental factors. It will offer a practical guide on how to cultivate virtuous mental states and how to weaken and eventually abandon the disturbing emotions, the key to lasting peace and well-being.
The course will be conducted by English-speaking monks from Sera Jey Monastic University ~biweekly on Sunday afternoons from 4 PM to 6 PM.
The course is free and open to everyone, it is suitable for beginners as well as advanced students of Tibetan Buddhism.
