Attention those of you interested in deepening your understanding of how the mind works:
Michelle, from the Ganden Center in Columbia, will be offering a day course, called "Life is But a Dream," on the concept and practice of emptiness on June 28 at the UU Church in Greenville.
The course information is as follows:
Session One: 10-12:30 p.m.
All our problems come because we do not understand how things exist. We perceive ourselves, our environment and all other phenomena to be inherent, solid, existing from its own side having no relationship to our mind. Due to this mistaken perception we then develop the delusions of anger and attachment and act in harmful ways. In this session we will identify our mind of ignorance and develop an understanding of how it is the main cause of all the suffering and problems we experience in our daily life.
Session Two: 1:30-4 p.m.
In this session we will develop an understanding of how things exist by understanding Buddha's teachings on emptiness. Only by seeing things as they really are can we become free from the inner source of unhappiness.
You do not need any previous experience of Buddhism or meditation to attend this course. Confirm your attendance online at: http://www.meditateinsouthcarolina.org/
One session only: $20, both sessions: $35. (The course fee includes a vegetarian lunch.) Class will be held at the Greenville Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 1135 State Park Road; Greenville, S.C. 29609.
[From my experience with Michelle at the NMY-sponsored meditation talks, she is non-dogmatic and insightful. You will leave with a new awareness of how our minds behave and control what we perceive as automatic reactions. Her talks are useful whether you follow Buddhist teachings or not. Proceeds will fund the center's prison outreach ministry.]
