Psychology of the Bodhisattva (Hybrid)
In this online workshop, explore how the commitment to serve others shifts your own psychological priorities and needs.
In Buddhism, a Bodhisattva is someone who, having realized profound insight into the nature of self and reality, commits their life to relieving suffering and guiding others toward enlightenment. Drawing from Shantideva’s timeless work, The Way of the Bodhisattva, this course explores the foundational principles of the Bodhisattva path and invites us to consider how we might embody these teachings in our own lives—as Bodhisattvas in training.
We will look closely at how our psychological orientation shifts as our personal growth becomes a vehicle for the greater good. Through this exploration, the course offers both practical tools and a roadmap for the deep inner transformation—emotional, psychological, and spiritual—needed to cultivate the compassion, wisdom, and skillful means essential for walking the Bodhisattva path.
This is an online course that is part video and part live online video conference. You will receive links to the videos, which you can watch at your convenience. There will be two video conference meetings where you can ask questions of the teacher and learn from the questions and experiences of the other participants. The first set of videos will be available on or around July 1. The second set of videos will be available on or around July 15. To get the most out of the class, please watch each set of videos prior to each live meeting. Also, allow approximately 3-4 hours to review each set of videos and to complete any coursework. Videos will be available for two weeks after class ends.
