Are you seeking a deeper understanding of your own mind — a map to greater well-being? Join us for a special online webinar with Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi, a renowned scholar and teacher of Buddhist philosophy, as he unravels the profound wisdom of the Abhidharma. Often referred to as “Buddhist psychology,” the Abhidharma offers a detailed map of consciousness, illuminating the intricate workings of our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions.
In this event, Bhikkhu Bodhi will guide us through the “topography” of consciousness and core principles of the Abhidharma, exploring how this ancient system of analysis can provide invaluable insights into the causes of suffering and the path to innate well-being. By systematically exploring the inner landscape of mind, we can clarify which mental states lead to suffering, which cultivate happiness and well-being in the present and future, and which ultimately lead to full inner freedom. This is a unique opportunity to learn from a renowned master teacher and deepen your understanding of these essential teachings.
Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi is a respected Buddhist monk, scholar, and translator renowned for his clear and insightful teachings on Abhidharma, the system of Buddhist psychology. Bhikkhu Bodhi's teachings will emphasize the importance of understanding the mind by systematically guiding us to recognize confusion and discover the reality that leads to profound self-understanding and lasting well-being.
In this program, you will learn:
A live teaching by Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi followed by a Q&A session

Many, fearful of annihilation at death, construct belief systems that ascribe to their individual selves, their souls, the prospect of eternal life. A few yearn for a path to liberation but do not know where to find one. It was precisely to offer such a path that the Buddha has appeared in our midst. - Bhikkhu Bodhi
