Description
Life can be overwhelming, as the Buddha taught over 2,500 years ago. While the pace of modern life may be faster than ever, the problem of facing changes is nothing new.
For anyone struggling to keep up all the challenges of daily life, there's an ancient answer: anicca (impermanence). Flow is part of life.
Buddhist teachings identify different types of change, and in this course we'll focus on three: the outer world, our social world, and the inner world.
As we go through this course together, you'll experience change not just as a destabilizing force but also as the "spice of life," keeping our lives fresh.
In this course, we will explore the Buddhist teachings on change and how they can help us to live more peacefully and joyfully in a world that is constantly changing. We will begin by examining the three types of change that Buddhism identifies: change in the outer world, change in our social world, and change in our inner world. We will then explore how these changes can impact our lives and how we can respond to them in a healthy and productive way.
One of the key teachings of Buddhism is that change is inevitable. Everything in the universe is constantly changing, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galaxies. This includes our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The Buddha taught that we should not resist change, but rather learn to accept it and flow with it. When we resist change, we create suffering for ourselves.
In this course, we will learn how to accept change and how to use it as an opportunity for growth and transformation. We will explore Buddhist practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and compassion that can help us to cope with change in a healthy way.
