« FONDEMENTS DU FONCTIONNEMENT DE L’ESPRIT »

La psychologie bouddhique s’intéresse au fonctionnement de notre esprit et à la manière dont nous percevons le monde. Elle nous est parvenue par l’ « Abhidhamma » , troisième partie du « Tipitaka » (env. 300 av. JC), qui réunit l’ensemble des exposés psychologiques et philosophiques de l’enseignement du Bouddha.

Elle offre une compréhension pratique, simple et concrète de notre comportement et de nos sentiments dans nos quotidiens. Ainsi, elle permet de saisir les raisons et les mécaniques de nos souffrances ; et donc aussi de saisir nos accès à une vie plus heureuse.

Basée sur une approche différente du Soi, elle propose une perspective alternative à l’approche occidentale, par une approche plus intériorisée et comportementale, héritage de la culture et de la sagesse bouddhique.

Introduction

Buddhist psychology is concerned with how our mind works and how we perceive the world. It has come down to us through the “Abhidhamma”, the third part of the “Tipitaka” (c. 300 BC), a collection of psychological and philosophical exposés of the Buddha’s teachings.

It offers a practical, simple and concrete understanding of how we behave and feel in our daily lives. In this way, it enables us to grasp the reasons and mechanics of our suffering, and thus also our access to a happier life.

Based on a different approach to the Self, it offers an alternative perspective to the Western approach, through a more internalised and behavioral approach, inherited from Buddhist culture and wisdom.

In this 40-hour training course (+ 10 h of personal practice), you’ll discover all the concepts on which Buddhist psychology is based: States of Mind, Mental Factors, Cognitive Events, Levels & Statements of Cognition, Wisdom Reasonings, Concept and Perception & Twelve Links of Interdependent Araising.

In addition, this training covers all the themes that feed into the Self-awareness courses (“Giving happy meaning to your life…” and “Making successful change in your life…”).

You can then become an observer of the workings of your mind, and a creator of your life and the way you interact with the world.

Taught topics

This course is laying the foundations for understanding :

• How the human mind perceives
• How we make sense of our perceptions
• The adverse impact of our emotions and sensations on our representation of reality
• The non-unique, non-permanent and non-independent nature of the Self
• The possibilities of freeing ourselves from erroneous views and obstacles
• The mechanisms and methods that enable lasting change
• The conditions that enable change to offer a more serene and peaceful life.

The course consists of a combination of in-depth knowledge acquisition, experiential scenarios and integration exercises, allowing you to immerse yourself in the application of Buddhist psychology, in what it means for you and in the context of your personal or professional life.
