TOPICS OF THE COURSE
The wisdom of the Buddha reveals a new way of seeing the world and ourselves in it. Buddhist teachings offer reflections that disturb our usual ways of thinking and invite us to question our values and assumptions.
This interactive course is an exploration of the key points of Buddhism. We will examine these perspectives closely, to see clearly the similarities and differences between Buddhist views and our contemporary ideas. We will be invited to revisit our views and clarify our outlook on life. This will give us a more secure and profound view of the way we see the world.
