This course explores the idea that the mind operates in two very different ways\, and that the spiritual life is essentially a movement from one to the other. We have the choice of being either reactive or creative\, not just once\, but at every moment. We investigate just what that means in our own lives\, looking at ways in which we can become less reactive and more creative\, with a combination of teaching\, discussion\, meditation and practical exercises. The path to Enlightenment\, then\, is one of ever-increasing creativity\, and we look at one of the Buddha’s teachings in which he describes a sequence of ever-increasing creative states of mind\, all the way to Enlightenment. Participants will receive the booklet Mind\, Reactive and Creative as part of the course. \n \n \n \n \n \n The course will include short talks\, discussion\, reflection\, meditation\, and home practice that should be completed between each week of the course. Each week there will be a particular theme explored as follows: Week 1 – Three Big Ideas We will be introducing the course and looking at three big ideas around the nature of Mind. Week 2 & 3 – Mind Creates World – The Six Realms Explores how the quality of mind creates the worlds we live in and how these worlds are represented on the Tibetan Wheel of Life as the six realms. Week 4 – Watching the Gap Explores the precious opportunity we have to move from the reactive to creative mind and find become free of cycle of rebirth. Week 5 – Happiness and Beyond – The Spiral Path and the Enlightened Mind Explores how the creative mind expresses itself as a path of ever increasing positive mental states and spiritual qualities we call the spiral path\, reaching full fruition and maturity in a state of inexhaustible energy\, wisdom and compassion that we call Enlightenment. Note: While meditation will be part of this course\, you will not be learning how to meditate. Please see our other events for an introduction to meditation course. \n \n \n \n \n \n WhenStarts Thursday 27th March 2025\, 7.30pm – 9.30pm | For 5 weeks WhereDublin Buddhist CentreUnit 5\, Liberty CornerJames Joyce StreetDublin\, D01 N5H6 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Vajrashura started practicing yoga and learnt to meditate while in university doing a Masters in High Performance Computing.
