Overview
Mind itself has rarely been the subject of serious observation and sustained inquiry. This can reveal a way of understanding that dissolves our problems and blossoms into creative freedom. As it is, beset by misunderstanding, our world staggers from one crisis to the next. Imprisoned by our own concepts, blind to the effects they have on our behaviors, it’s hard to find a way forward. The path of understanding addresses these problems directly. We’ll begin with how mind can examine mind, then explore inner narratives. Then, we’ll deepen our understanding of the ongoing relationship between what we see and what we think, revealing a freedom within mind that is totally unexpected.
Format
Revelations of Mind is a flagship course at Dharma College. Approached through its commentary, Searcher Reaches Lands Limits, we work through a series of five six week classes. Each class is presented as a 90 minute online zoom event with additional self-directed study and exercises. Classes are recorded and stored for six months on our online community portal, where a dedicated classroom is created for all attendees.
Mastery Courses
If you have completed a couple of terms or more of Level 1 courses (or with the permission of Executive Director), please find our Level 2 course:
201: Searches Reaches Land's Limits
Searches Reaches Land's Limits is a commentary on the ground-breaking (Revelations of Mind), and is a central course at Dharma College. Beginning with an examination of how our experience is in part reactive, we come to realise the root causes of distress and suffering. We then consider how best to approach mind training with a view to understanding how we construct experience from the projection of time. This in turn reveals the ground of experience from which we discover a new way of being: a revelation of mind.
“I’ve studied Buddhism for 45 years. These classes have created openings to directly experience teachings that have been previously only theoretical and fleeting. I connect more deeply with my meditation practices now, more than ever.”
