Part of The Madyamaka (Middle Way) In Everyday Life series.
Madhyamaka--the Buddhist logic system to deconstruct reality--isn't just for monks and wonks! Often translated as The Middle Way, Madyamaka is actually a practical set of tools to help Buddhists and non-Buddhists to better understand the phenomenal world, or at least our interpretation of it. This course will focus particularly on practical applications of the "Tiny Vajra" construct to question our thoughts and senses and (maybe) settle down that monkey mind.
Can't afford it? It is our full intention to accommodate the financial needs of anyone who has a genuine commitment to practice and study. Reduced Payment Options and Work-Study are always available. Please contact lani@theidproject.org to make alternative arrangements.
