Practical
Buddhism
Practical Buddhism and the Search for Self
This course explores practical Buddhism as a path to
self-discovery and inner peace. We will examine core Buddhist history concepts
like mindfulness, impermanence, and compassion, and apply them to daily life.
Through discussion on the myths of a happy life, you will learn to understand
the human interconnection with the environment, practice cultivating self-awareness,
and navigate the challenges of modern life with greater wisdom and kindness.
Many concepts are found in the Buddhist bestseller, The Buddha
in Your Mirror - Practical Buddhism and the Search for Self by
Woody Hochswender, Gred Martin, and Ted Morino (Middleway Press, 2001). Instructor
