Buddhist Psychology Studies Overview |
|
Although Buddhism is
primarily viewed as a religion, at its heart it is a very sophisticated system
for understanding the deeper workings of the psyche. The Buddhist
Psychology Studies Program is designed to provide an understanding of the
processes of the mind from a Buddhist perspective. It is a non-dogmatic “pan-Buddhist” approach that draws from the wisdom developed in several different schools of Buddhism. It is adapted from traditional Buddhist
approaches in order to serve the psychological needs of modern
westerners. Traditional Buddhist articulations have sometimes been difficult for westerners
to understand.
This is, in part, because Buddhist scholars working in the last two
millennia did not fully foresee the depth of self-crippling behaviors
specific to future Industrialized nations. The Buddhist Psychology
Studies
Program seeks to bridge the gap between the contemporary western view and
ancBuddhist teachings, bringing
the balm of Buddhist understandings regarding the nature of
suffering into the modern therapeutic context.
