SUMMARY:This Life: Key insights from the Buddha's life and teachings
DESCRIPTION:The Essence of the Three Yanas is the second module of the This Life course. It presents the key teachings and insights from the Buddha via the Three Vehicles: Peace\, Compassion & Wisdom. Through this nine week course\, we will explore how the treasure of this ancient wisdom may help us navigate the challenges in our modern society and learn to live a contented and meaningful life. \nThe course is aimed at people who have some experience of meditation and buddhist studies. \nThis course explores the Buddhist path to awakening through reflecting on the example of the Buddha\, understanding the fundamental message of his teachings\, the Dharma\, and looking into the value of the spiritual community—the Sangha —dedicated to following in the Buddha’s footsteps. \nThis course explores the life of the Buddha\, both in its historical context and from a spiritual perspective\, and reflects on the relevance that the Buddha’s life has for us now. \nIt presents the key principles of the Buddha’s Dharma teachings: including the four noble truths and the four seals\, which form the basis for all levels of practice on the Buddhist path. The course does not merely address these topics intellectually\, but rather gives students the opportunity to explore and internalize these crucial points through contemplation and practise. This will include examining: \n—The insights the Buddha’s teachings offer us about life and death. \n—How Buddhism is both a religion and a science of mind\, and how it differs from other religions and philosophies. \n—The Buddhist view of the nature of reality and ourselves. \nWe will also explore the idea and value of a spiritual community\, Sangha and the role it plays in the path to awakening. \nFor more experienced students this is a wonderful chance to clarify\, reinforce and deepen the crucial principles of our view and practice. \nRigpa’s policy is that financial difficulties should not be an obstacle to attending our courses. If this is an issue for you and attending this course\, please contact us at sydney@rigpa.org.au \nCurrent Sangha Members/Subscribers can register FREE using their discount code.

SUMMARY:Inspiring a Revolution in Your Heart and Mind
DESCRIPTION:Bringing the Mind Home\n\nTake a deep dive into a rich variety of meditation techniques to transform your moods and emotions. And discover how the whole purpose of meditation is to transcend our ordinary mind\, to discover our vast\, wise and compassionate fundamental nature\, which we have lost touch with. The highest goal of meditation is to awake in us the sky-like nature of mind and introduce to us who we really are: our unchanging pure awareness.
