Description:
The Buddha famously said, “I have taught one thing and one thing only, dukkha [suffering or reactivity or a sense of unsatisfactoriness] and the cessation of dukkha.”
In this day retreat, we will explore this core teaching as it is expressed in the Four Noble Truths and the teaching of the Two Arrows. We will suggest ways to study and implement this teaching both in formal meditation and in everyday life, through practices and reflections that bring together the wisdom of seeing the roots of dukkha, the compassion and kindness that can hold our difficulties, and skillful action to transform dukkha.
Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. By understanding the dynamics of reactivity, and skillful means for managing stressful times, care providers will be able to better manages stressful conditions, and share these perspectives with their patients and clients. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for attendance requirements and more information.
Learning Objectives for participating health care professionals-
Based on the content of this program, you will be able to:
• Describe the basic dynamics of reactivity in the mind and emotions;
• Explain how a non-reactive response to difficulties can reduce suffering;
• Describe the concept of the “two arrows,” and how separating unavoidable difficulties, pain, or hardship from the self-imposed suffering of mental reactivity, may prevent unnecessary suffering;
• Integrate mindfulness and compassion practices with clients to work with reactive mind states.
