06-10: In Intersein Zentrum Hohenau (not on EIAB Campus)
4C Buddhist Teachings on Love I (In English with German Translation. Registration with Intersein Zentrum)
This course is in two parts. The second part will be taught later this year at the EIAB but each part is complete in itself.
The practice of love is an important part of the practice of mindfulness. Love is a wholesome emotion that can help us realize true healing and awakening. If someone has not realized compassion we cannot say that that person is enlightened, no matter how much intellectual understanding of the Buddhist teachings he or she may demonstrate.
The Four components of love in Buddhism are called The Abodes of Brahma. They are: Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Joy and Equanimity.
During this course we shall learn how to think, speak and act based on these four components.
We always begin with learning how to love our own person. If we cannot feel compassion and love for ourselves, it is unlikely that we shall feel compassion for someone else.
We also learn to love truly our loved ones; how to give them space and freedom to develop spiritually. .
Then we learn to love and forgive those who, in the beginning, seem the most difficult to love and forgive.
