Event Details
They are seven mental capacities much valued as part of Buddhist practice, because when developed and cultivated they counteract the hindrances of the mind that keep us in delusion, and they incline the mind toward nibbana, toward freedom.
Whilst the title “Factors of Awakening” may sound lofty – perhaps disconnected from our ordinary life – they are actually forms of mental qualities used regularly in the midst of everyday activities.
These factors are mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy or rapture, tranquillity, concentration, and equanimity.
As the seven factors of awakening are such a useful part of Buddhist practice, it is helpful to become familiar with them in order to recognize when they are not present, when they are present, and how to bring forth them and support their growth. The aim of the course is to show you how to develop these skills in your life.
This 4-week course is suitable for both newcomers and experienced practitioners. There will also be a short mindfulness meditation practice in each session.
