INFO ABOUT THE COURSE
II. CULTIVATING WISDOM & COMPASSION, August 7- 9 2020
The two main wings of practice in the pursuit of genuine happiness and inner well-being are wisdom and
compassion.
During the Friday evening session will introduce these two topics of wisdom and compassion. And also
briefly discuss how to effectively cultivate them as part of an overall strategy for achieving genuine
happiness.
Then on Saturday and Sunday we will look at both of these two topics in more detail together with learning
and practicing various meditations associated with these two topics.
With regard to the wisdom practice we will discuss the insights into impermanence, suffering, no self and
emptiness also touching on the insight into the nature of mind. And with regard to the compassion practice
we will learn how to identify and effectively deal with the mental afflictions of anger and attachment. And
how to effectively cultivate the positive qualities of loving-kindness and compassion.
We will not only be emphasizing the learning of these skills but also how to integrate them into our daily life
so that they may form an effective basis for our pursuit of genuine happiness and well-being.
