NEW SEMESTER STARTS 1st FEBRUARY
With the new semester comes:
The New Buddhist Psychology Diploma ProgrammeThe latest up-date of the programme in Buddhist psychology developed by Dr David Brazier and colleagues over many years. This programme develops Buddhist principles as psychology and applies them to personal life and psychotherapy, showing how the Dharma methods of transforming dukkha into the path of awakening can be operationalised in a contemporary context. The programme is suitable for all who are interested in deepening their understanding in their own practice and in assisting others, as well as those who work as therapists and counsellors.
The Second Semester of Ancestors of the Pureland Tradition
This is the Global Sangha study programme on the history of the transmission of the Dharma. The first semester, which is just ending, has covered the transmission within India in the period 500BCE to 200CE. The second semester will cover the transmission in China from 0 to 1300CE. The main emphasis is upon the Pureland tradition and teachers, but the programme also includes a broad view of Mahayana Buddhism as a whole. Each semester is a stand-alone sequence so you don't have to have done the first to join the second.
