About the Series
Un anno di approfondimento nella compassione - Parte III: Garuda senza paura - Vacuità e Bodhicitta Assoluto is the third course in a four-part series exploring the Shambhala Mahayana teachings.
Il percorso del Bodhisattva Guerriero inizia con lo sviluppo dell'affetto per noi stessi e lo espande agli altri, dissolvendo le barriere che ci dividono. To support this practice, Shambhala senior teachers taught a year-long course with contemplative and meditation practices from the Buddhist Mahayana teachings of our lineage.
Throughout this four-part series, the main practice is tonglen, taught by Ani Pema Chodron with a guided meditation and an audio talk that is posted in all four courses. Additional teachings introduce and support other practices of the Mahayana.
This series is divided into four seasonal themes. Within each season, teachers offered talks that related to that topic with their own personal approach. The themes for the four seasons echo the virtues of the Four Dignities of the Shambhala Path: Tiger, Leone, Garuda e il drago.
Informazioni sul corso
Parte III - Garuda senza paura: Vacuità e Bodhicitta Assoluto
Il potere del Mahayana deriva dalla sua chiarezza riguardo alla vera natura della realtà. This clarity is described as penetrating insight (prajna), that sees that the world is actually different from what we habitually think it is. Instead of assuming that beings, objects and systems are solid, truly existing independently, the bodhisattva sees that everything is empty of concepts and reference points (shunyata).
- Six recorded classes, led by different teachers.
- Readings and book suggestions to deepen our understanding of these teachings
- Contemplations to help us integrate these fundamental teachings into our daily lives
