Whether you are just curious about Buddhism, or are thinking about making a more serious commitment and want to find out more about it, this course will allow plenty of time for questions. Buddhism is a religion which shows us a path to liberate ourselves from suffering and achieve our highest potential, as liberated happy human beings. The term buddha derives from the Sanskrit word bodhi, which means awakened - awakened from suffering. At the very core of Buddhism lies the fact that every single sentient being has the potential to awaken from suffering and become a Buddha. Buddhism has been described as a very pragmatic religion. It does not indulge in metaphysical speculation about first causes. There is no theology, no worship of a deity or deification of the Buddha. Buddhism takes a very straightforward look at our human condition. Nothing is based on wishful thinking. Everything the Buddha taught was based on his own observation of the way things are. Everything he taught can be verified by our own observation of the way things are. The techniques that Buddhist practitioners have developed to train their minds in equanimity, compassion and wisdom can be practiced by people of any faith or none.
