The Wisdom to Deal with Everything - Understanding the Nature of the Mind, the Self and Reality

In this course, Joseph will guide us into the most profound areas of Buddha’s teachings and show us to apply these to our daily life. First, we will learn about mindfulness and concentration in regards to the beautiful meditation on the nature of the mind. Then we will apply these skills to investigating the ultimate nature of the self. The wisdom we develop through these teachings will empower us to deal peacefully and skillfully with all the various situations and problems we encounter. In particular it will help us to let go of our painful limiting self-conceptions and enable us to experience an inner ease, flexibility and happiness throughout our daily life. Taking these practices to heart will clearly point the way towards our extraordinary potential for enlightenment. Everyone welcome.
