Weekly Buddhism Study Group - Buddhist Psychology

Each Sunday, 9 am to 10 am (AEDT)

ONLINE zoom link below

From September 15, 2024, we are studying Buddhist psychology until mid-2025, beginning with a 9-week course on the “essence” of Buddhist psychology, followed by a longer “immersion” course. Please feel free to join us at any stage in this course.

The Buddhist way of studying the psychology of the mind is called Abhidharma. This profound way of looking into and classifying the mind enables us to deepen our understanding of how consciousness operates and eventually recognize our true nature, which is beyond thoughts, emotions, and perceptions.

The basic format for each Sunday is :

  • opening aspirations

  • teachings

  • a guided meditation or reflection

  • discussion and sharing

  • closing dedications


REGISTRATION

Attendance is free, though donations are warmly welcome and accepted here.

Selected online course material from Vajrayana Online is presented. While not required, a Vajrayana Online subscription is highly recommended to supplement study and practice with this program. It is also needed if volunteering to facilitate.

Please email Rod McCrea with any questions and to join this group. We communicate between sessions using Slack. Rod can send you an invite to join our Tergar Australia Slack site (if you haven’t joined) and you can visit our Buddhist-psychology channel in Slack. You can download Slack here.
