Psychology of the Bodhisattva
Psychology of the Bodhisattva
When we make the decision to dedicate ourselves to helping others, our priorities change. Although this decision can be made in an instant, the process of learning how and when to best help others can take longer than we might expect. Buddhist philosophy offers invaluable guidance regarding what it really takes to develop the capacity to truly be of service. This is called the Path of the Bodhisattva. This path provides invaluable insight and guidance not only about the nature of service but also how being of service deepens understanding of the basic teachings of Buddhist philosophy. In this course, we will explore the way in which our psychological orientation changes as we dedicate our self-development to the benefit of all.
This workshop will:
• Help you refine your intention.
• Help you understand your reasons for being of service.
