Buddhist Mind Science: Activating Your Potential is an FPMT introductory course. Buddhism is considered by some to be a “science of mind” because it presents a comprehensive map describing the mind and its various aspects and functions.
Module Six starts by reflecting on the meaning of wisdom and its relevance. It then goes deeper into presenting the
most profound aspect of wisdom, that of understanding the nature of reality. It also presents how conditioned existence
is brought about by delusion, afflictions, and karma, and how we can counteract this with wisdom. It concludes with
the nature of the mind, which makes full awakening possible. To that aim, the journey in this module introduces perception
and wisdom by exploring what is meant by wisdom, its aspects, its relevance, and how it can counteract the causes
of suffering, and also by exploring the scientific view on how perception works.
