Bodhi Training
Bodhi Training is an educational program in which you are guided through all levels of insight from the teachings of the Buddha. This happens with the help of methods that support you in uncovering and realizing reality as it is. The aim of this program is to further develop your ability to meet all life situations with more compassion and deeper insight.
Bodhi Training weaves together traditional wisdom with a contemporary educational format. It centers around the development of compassionate communities – because genuine care makes us more intelligent and insightful.
On the inner level, we train in integrating Buddhist tools with our daily life situations and dealing constructively with thoughts and emotions. We work with being present, with identity, and with freeing consciousness from its own mind games. By combining love with a liberated mind, we can learn to journey through life with ease and respond to problems in creative ways.
During Bodhi Training, we meet regurlary and become familiar with how we can apply the key instructions of the Buddha within meditation, psychology and philosophy in a practical way. The purpose of this training is to help you understand and experience the living dharma in your mind, so you can weave it into the fabric of your life, and express its timeless value in the world and in your relationships.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN LIFE
We all wish to do something truly good and to understand what is most important in life. We welcome you to a transformative program that has these matters at the heart of the training.
Bodhi means the cleared-up mind, being clear in a way where natural empathy, intelligence and strength shines forth freely and can be made available to everyone – just like a bloomed lotus flower.
As a participant in Bodhi Training you learn to integrate peace of mind, kindness and insight. In this way, you can use your personal experience as a starting point in becoming a better guide for yourself and an inspiration to others. We use simple, yet profound, contemplative techniques in constructive and helpful ways.
“As a teacher I will contribute by drawing from two sources: that which I have heard from my teachers, and that which I have personally understood. The authentic way of teaching the Dharma always includes these two parts.
The Bodhi Training forum presents deep teachings about mind. At the same time it is a laboratory of consciousness, where we engage in our own research by exploring, testing and verifying. It is our individually experienced insights that frees us.”
Welcome to a formative and inspiring teaching program with Erik Pema Kunsang.
