By being back to square one constantly, we find lightheartedness in the ultimate sense.
In the spirit of “back to square one”, a favorite expression of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a group of senior teachers were inspired to offer an in-depth study of the Buddha’s foundational teachings of the Hinayana in 2020/2021.
This five-course-series provides a thorough exploration of the Hinayana path drawing on teachings from the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, other prominent teachers and classic sources. The emphasis is on cultivating maitri or friendliness to oneself, and on the Shambhala teachings of basic goodness, gentleness and bravery–allowing us to meet the modern human condition with warriorship and dignity.
The Four Noble Truths are used as the overall organizing principle. Instructions in the Four Foundations of Mindfulness are interwoven and provide a meditative method for embracing the totality of our basically good experience—including pain and suffering.

Rute 1
Den første ædle sandhed: Møde lidelse med Maitri
Lærere: Susan Chapman and Fleet Maull
This course offers an exploration of the nature of suffering from the perspective of the Four Marks of Existence–Forgængelighed, Lidelse, Selflessness and Peace–and how we can meet suffering with maitri or unconditional friendliness. The teachers will also guide students in the exploration and practice of Mindfulness of Body, the first of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness.
In his earliest teachings, the Buddha taught that the suffering of samsaric existence is the first noble truth. Such suffering is changing and impermanent, and arises from infinite causes and conditions. It feels intensely personal (mine), og, in fact, is one of the bases we use to craft our identity (me and my problems), which is called “mistaking what has no self for a self”. This state of mind generates constant underlying fear and anxiety. When we recognize these simple truths of existence –forgængelighed, suffering and the absence of a true self– we can experience the peace of nirvana.

Den anden ædle sandhed: The Origins of Suffering, Del II: Wheel of Life, Karma & 12 Nidanas
Lærere: Judith Simmer-Brown and Loden Nyima
Buddhas grundlæggende lære indikerer, at den lidelse, vi oplever i vores liv, kan komme til ophør, hvis vi erkender, dybt og dybt, hvordan den lidelse er opstået. Dette kræver blid tapperhed og dyb kontemplation, bypassing simplistic notions of how our suffering has arisen.

Rute 5
Den fjerde ædle sandhed: Shilas vej, Samadhi, og Prajna
Lærere: Marianne Bots and Eric Spiegel
We have been studying the Buddha’s first teaching: The Four Noble Truths. After teaching that suffering is pervasive to all experience, that there is a cause to that suffering and that cessation is possible, he then taught a way forward, which we call ”The Path.” In fact, everything he taught and all of our experience as practitioners comprise “The Path.” In this course, we will examine Path from multiple perspectives of what has been taught and what is experienced by us individuals walking this path.
