Buddhist Psychology , logic and debate Zuru Ling Mar 2014
The weekend of Saturday and Sunday March 29th & 30th sees Ven. Zasep Rinpoche leading a in-house teaching retreat on the use and value of Buddhist psychology, logic and debate. These fields are integral part of the Gelugpa Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism – the Tradition of our Gaden For The West Community. Psychology, logic and debate are disciplines that teach Buddhist students about the nature of the mind – it’s powers, virtues and delusions – the arts with which to harness its powers and improve it – and the nature of Reality itself, that it is a product of thought and word. An amazing weekend open to all and a perfect balance of educational theory and practice.
