In Jaartraining 1 van de studierichting Boeddhistische Studie en Beoefening worden de Vier Edele Waarheden bestudeerd:
• De Waarheid van het lijden,
• De Waarheid van de oorzaak van lijden,
• De Waarheid van het einde aan lijden en
• De Waarheid van het pad dat leidt naar het einde aan lijden.
In het kader van de Waarheid van de oorzaak van lijden maken we in de onderhavige les kennis met een onderdeel van het boeddhistische “Levenswiel”: De Zes Bestaansrijken. Ze gaan over de ontwikkeling van de geest in successieve levens. En ze zijn ook een projectie, een verbeelding van de belangrijkste emotionele reactiepatronen.
In de les maken we een begin met leren we hoe we de bestaansrijken kunnen herkennen in onze eigen emotionele responsen gekoppeld aan een emotioneel patroon.
Belangstellenden zijn welkom om aan te sluiten.

Walk-in class Wheel of Life – the Six Realms
In yeartraining 1 of the studyfield Buddhist Study and Practice, we are studying the Four Noble Truths:
- The Truth of Suffering,
- The Truth of the Cause of Suffering,
- The Truth of the End of Suffering and
- The Truth of the Path That Leads to the End of Suffering.
In the context of the Truth of the Cause of Suffering, in the present lesson we will be introduced to a section of the Buddhist “Wheel of Life”: The Six Realms of Existence. They are about the development of the mind in successive lives. And they are also a projection, a representation of the main emotional reaction patterns.
In this class we will make a start with learning how to recognize the realms of existence in our own emotional responses linked to an emotional pattern.
Interested people are welcome to join.
