Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi | Back to the Roots: Mapping the Mind through Abhidharma (EDT, US)

Are you seeking a deeper understanding of your own mind — a map to greater well-being? Join the Tergar community for a special online webinar with Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi, as he unravels the profound wisdom of the Abhidharma. Often referred to as “Buddhist psychology,” the Abhidharma offers a detailed map of consciousness, illuminating the intricate workings of our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions.

In this event, Bhikkhu Bodhi will guide us through the “topography” of consciousness and core principles of the Abhidharma, exploring how this ancient system of analysis can provide invaluable insights into the causes of suffering and the path to innate well-being. By systematically exploring the inner landscape of mind, we can clarify which mental states lead to suffering, which cultivate happiness and well-being in the present and future, and which ultimately lead to full inner freedom. This is a unique opportunity to learn from a renowned master teacher and deepen your understanding of these essential teachings.
