SUMMARY:Wise Paths to the Heart
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course is part of the “Buddhist Mind Science” course series. Like the other courses of the series, it can be done independently without having to do all of them.\n\n\n\n\n\nIs warmheartedness a source of well-being? Are human beings kind by nature? How can we activate a sense of connection with oneself and others? How can we make it a source of true happiness? How far can our inner qualities of love, compassion, joy, and so on be developed?\n\n\n\nThe Journey\n\n\n\nThe course “Wise paths to the heart” focuses on cultivating warmheartedness and prosocial attitudes, which are essential for human evolution, well-being, and flourishing. It presents the four immeasurable attitudes of loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity, as drawn from the Buddhist tradition, and explores the mind of awakening, which embraces all sentient beings. It is complemented by references to current scientific understanding on the nature and biological basis of altruism, empathy, compassion, and self-compassion.\n\n\n\nThe course gradually unfolds as a journey along different topics:\n\n\n\n\nWarmheartedness as a source of well-being explores whether warmheartedness is a source of well-being, with research on the nature of altruism and ethics, and on the biological basis of warmheartedness. We also explore whether it can be trained.\n\n\n\nTo care for yourself to care for others starts by seeing how to take care of oneself, and how taking care of oneself also entails taking care—or connecting—with others.\n\n\n\nThe four immeasurables works with specific aspects of warmheartedness and prosocial attitudes: the four immeasurable qualities of loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. It also presents how to move from empathy to compassion.\n\n\n\nWarm heart fitness deepens into the four immeasurables, by exploring their relation with wisdom, and by finding ways to replace afflictions for the four immeasurables.\n\n\n\nThe mind of awakening goes further to explore the possibility of fully developing our potential of warmheartedness and wisdom with the mind of awakening, which aims to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.\n\n\n\nAlchemy of the heart presents unique and provoking approaches to cultivating such a mind with methods that allow us to gradually replace egoism and self-centeredness for altruism and awareness of others.\n\n\n\n\nBuddhist Mind Science\n\n\n\nThis course belongs to the series of courses “Buddhist Mind Science: Activating Your Potential”, that offers practical knowledge and techniques about meditation, the mechanisms of suffering and happiness, how to find inner balance and how to discover and develop our potential as a person. The presentation includes references to scientific research. The different courses in the series can be taken separately.
