One of the keys to successful Dharma practice is understanding the true nature of our minds. Through practice and experience, we can begin to recognize the fundamental purity of mind and attain liberation. This course will explore the basic principles of Buddhist Psychology, and provide practical advice on investigating the nature of mind through meditation. Techniques for cultivating mindfulness during the course of daily life will also be introduced. Together, we will explore Tibetan Buddhist definitions of Mind, its functions, and the 51 mental factors described in the Abhidharmasammucaya, a classic Buddhist treatise on the nature of reality.
