Buddhist Psychology Course, part 1
As a 2600-year-old system of thought, Buddhism is referred to as a major religion. However, it is more a system of psychology than a religion. This is only coming to light in recent years. His Holiness the Dalai Lama refers to Buddhism as “Mind Science” and this term is a synonym for “psychology”. With two-thirds of the entire Buddhist teachings considered psychology, there is an extremely rich, deep and profound explanation of the mind and its functions.
This course is designed to give the participant a thorough overview of Buddhist psychology, the nature of the mind, the source of mental and emotional disorders, and an understanding of Buddhist “therapy”.
