Transformar El Mundo Transformándose Uno Mismo - Mindfulness Y Compassion

From Centro Budista de Valencia on Sun, 19 May, 2013 - 01:00
En esta charla exploraremos como la atención consciente y la compasión pueden abrazar completamente nuestra experiencia, permitiéndonos ser conscientes de los impulsos humanos básicos y a la vez hacer elecciones creativas y amables basadas en nuestra dirección y propósito de vida, en nuestros valores e ideales.

La transformación no implica que debamos 'hacer' algo. Tal vez sea necesario 'dejar de hacer', dejar guiarnos por este imperativo de la sociedad moderna. Como dice Sangharákshita: 'la conciencia es en sí misma transformativa'.

Basado en el Satipatthana sutta o fundamentos de la atención consciente, el Madhupundika sutta o sutta bolita de miel, el Sallatha sutta o sutta de las dos flechas.

También se exploran algunos puntos contacto entre el budismo y la ciencia. Acercando los últimos trabajos de investigación científica sobre mindfulness y la compasión de parte de P. Gilbert, K. Neff, M. Williams y C. Germer
