Det som kallas för ritualer är i själva verket olika metoder i den buddhistiska utövningen för att samla meriter och rena negativ karma. När vi inte har en ordentlig förståelse för betydelsen av dessa metoder kan det tyckas att det bara handlar om att be traditionella böner och ge komplicerade offergåvor. Men med korrekt förståelse och motivation blir dessa metoder ett sätta att ackumulera meriter och rena negativ karma. Utan ett bra ”lager” av meriter och rening sägs det att man inte kan få några hållbara insikter i sin meditation.

Som förberedelse inför meditation med mål att nå högre insikter presenterade Buddha metoder för att samla meriter och rena negativ karma, som är kända som Seven Limb Practices. Denna kurs kommer att täcka betydelsen av och syftet med dessa metoder och hur man implementerar dem i sitt dagliga liv.

——————ENGLISH——————

What is referred to as rituals are actually different methods of engaging in Buddhist practices as a means to accumulate merit and purify negative karmas. When we don’t have a proper understanding of the significance of these practices, it may appear as merely following a tradition of saying prayers and making elaborate offerings. However, with a proper understanding and intention, these practices become a most supreme method for accumulation of merit and purifying negative karmas. Without a good stock of merit and purification, it is said that one will not be able to gain any sustainable realizations from meditation.

As a preparation for engaging in meditational practices to gain higher realizations, the Buddha presented practices for accumulating merit and purifying negative karmas, which are known as the Seven Limb Practices. This course will cover the significance and purpose of these practices and how to implement them in one’s daily life.

Sorg är alla de ofta motstridiga känslor som väcks av en förändring av ett välkänt livsmönster.

Det är inte bara döden som väcker sorg. Skilsmässa, ett kärleksförhållande som krossats, arbetslöshet, sjukdom, en känsla av att livet inte utvecklar sig som du hade önskat kan också trigga denna känsla. Oberoende av vad som utlöst din sorg så kan den känslan ha en livslång negativ inverkan på möjligheter att uppleva lycka och välbefinnande.

Vi blir bättre rustade genom att tala om sorgen, sätta ord på det som gör ont och hindrar oss i våra liv samtidigt som vi får ta del av andras erfarenheter.

——————ENGLISH——————

Grief are all the often conflicting emotions that arises by a change in a familiar pattern in life. It is not just death that causes grief. Divorce, a broken love affair, unemployment, illness, or a feeling that life is not progressing the way we want it to can trigger this emotion. Regardless of why we feel grief, living with this emotion for extended periods of time can have a lifelong negative impact on our wellbeing. We become better equipped to heal our grief by talking about it and share our experiences with others.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) kombinerar kunskaper i mindfulness och självmedkänsla för att förbättra förmågan till emotionellt välbefinnande. Mindfulness utgör det första steget – att vända sig med kärleksfull medvetenhet mot svåra upplevelser (känslor, förnimmelser, tankar). Därefter kommer självmedkänsla – att ge oss själva kärleksfull medveten närvaro. Tillsammans utgör mindfulness och självmedkänsla ett tillstånd av varm närvaro under svåra stunder i våra liv.

De flesta av oss känner medkänsla när en nära vän kämpar. Hur skulle det vara att få ta emot samma omsorg från dig själv när du behövde det som mest? Allt som behövs är ett skifte i din uppmärksamhet – att erkänna att du som människa också är en värdig mottagare av medkänsla. Självmedkänsla lär man sig delvis genom att komma i kontakt med sin medfödda medkänsla, och den i sin tur utvidgar förmågan att vara medkännande med andra.

Forskning visar att självmedkänsla är starkt förknippad med känslomässigt välbefinnande, bättre förmåga att hantera livets utmaningar, lägre nivåer av ångest och depression, hälsosamma vanor som kost och motion och mer tillfredsställande personliga relationer. Det är en inre styrka som gör att vi kan vara mer fullt ut mänskliga – att erkänna våra brister, lära av dem och göra nödvändiga förändringar med en attityd av vänlighet och självrespekt.

Är den här kursen för dig?
Lyckligtvis kan vem som helst lära sig självmedkänsla.

Kursens avsikt
Efter att ha deltagit i kursen kommer du att kunna:
• Öva självmedkänsla i vardagen
• Förstå vetenskapen om självmedkänsla
• Motivera dig med vänlighet snarare än kritik
• Lättare hantera svåra känslor
• Hantera ”caregiver fatigue”
• Utöva konsten att njuta och självuppskattning
• Lära ut enkla självmedkännande övningar till klienter

Kursen består av samtal, meditationer, erfarenhetsövningar och gruppdiskussioner. Deltagarna kommer att utöva självmedkänsla och lära sig metoder som väcker självmedkänsla i det dagliga livet.

I kursmaterialet ingår: Guidade meditationer (ljudfiler) och en övningsmanual

——————ENGLISH——————

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion to enhance our capacity for emotional wellbeing. Mindfulness is the first step—turning with loving awareness toward difficult experience (emotions, sensations, thoughts). Self-compassion comes next—bringing loving awareness to ourselves. Together, mindfulness and self-compassion comprise a state of warm, connected presence during difficult moments in our lives.

Most of us feel compassion when a close friend is struggling. What would it be like to receive the same caring attention from yourself when you needed it the most? All that’s required is a shift in attention—recognizing that as a human being, you, too, are a worthy recipient of compassion. Self-compassion is learned, in part, by connecting with our innate compassion and it further expands our capacity to be compassionate with others.

Burgeoning research shows that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional wellbeing, coping with life challenges, lower levels of anxiety and depression, healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and more satisfying personal relationships. It is an inner strength that enables us to be more fully human—to acknowledge our shortcomings, learn from them, and make necessary changes with an attitude of kindness and self-respect.

Is this course for you?
Fortunately, self-compassion can be learned by anyone.

Couse intention
After participating in this workshop, you will be able to:
• Practice self-compassion in daily life
• Understand the science of self-compassion
• Motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism
• Handle difficult emotions with greater ease
• Manage caregiver fatigue
• Practice the art of savouring and self-appreciation
• Teach simple self-compassion exercises to clients

Program activities include talks, meditation, experiential exercises, and group discussion. Participants will directly experience self-compassion and learn practices that evoke self-compassion in daily life.

Course material included: Audio guided meditations & a practice manual

I den här första modulen av Discovering Buddhism undersöker vi betydelsen av “sinnet” enligt buddhismen, dess natur och funktion och hur det avgör vår upplevelse av lycka och lidande. Vi utforskar skillnaden mellan sinnet och hjärnan, hur sinnet skapar våra upplevelser och konsekvenserna av att ha ett sinne som inte har någon början eller slut. Du får lära dig metoder för att omvandla icke-konstruktiva tankar och attityder och utveckla ett mer positivt och lyckligare sinne.

Titta djupt in i ditt eget sinne för att upptäcka dess natur, dess funktioner och dess djupaste potential. Var beredd att undersöka de speciella tankesätt som skapas av din kultur och samhälle, utbildning, religiös bakgrund och miljö och den uppfostran du har haft i din familj.

Session 1: Introduktion till sinnet
Session 2: Rymdskräp, perception och konceptualisering
Session 3: Psykologiska aspekter av sinnet
Session 4: Sutra och Tantra

——————ENGLISH——————

In this first module of Discovering Buddhism we examine the meaning of “mind” according to Buddhism, its nature and function, and how it determines our experience of happiness and suffering. We explore the differentiation between mind and brain, how mind is the creator of our experiences, and the implications of possessing a mind that has no beginning and no end. You will learn methods to transform destructive thoughts and attitudes and develop a more positive and joyous mind.

Be prepared to look deeply into your own mind to discover its nature, its functions and the profound depth of its potential. Be prepared to look into the particular mind-set generated by your culture and society, education, religious background and environment, and the upbringing you have had within your family.

Vid vissa tidpunkter i livet kan vi komma att ställa frågor som: Varför är jag här och vad är syftet med mitt liv? Är allt förutbestämt eller kan jag ändra inriktning i livet? Finns det ett slut på alla problem och kan vi uppleva varaktig lycka?

För över 2500 år sedan var det just dessa frågor som fick prins Siddhartha att lämna sitt stora palats och söka syftet och den verkliga meningen med livet. I sin strävan att avsluta lidande och hitta varaktig lycka upptäckte prins Siddhartha vad lidande verkligen betyder och hur man kan övervinna det. Efter att ha tillbringat många år med att söka kunskap och meditera nådde han det slutliga målet – upplysning – och blev känd som Buddha.

Det var först när Buddha ombads att dela sin visdom som han gav sin första undervisning, som är välbevarad och känd som De fyra ädla sanningarna. Han ville inte att hans anhängare skulle acceptera det han lärde ut enbart av tro, utan han uppmuntrade dem att undersöka och upptäcka sanningarna själva. Än idag är det en viktig princip i buddhistisk undervisning – att var och en själv ska analysera och reflektera över den.

I den här endagskursen ger Venerable Michael en introduktion till de fyra ädla sanningarna, vi kommer att meditera tillsammans och det kommer att finnas tid för frågor och diskussion.

——————ENGLISH——————

At certain points in our lives we may find ourselves asking questions such as, why am I here and what is the purpose of my life? Is everything predetermined or can I change the direction of my life? Is there an end to our problems and can we be truly happy?

Over 2,500 years ago, these very same questions prompted prince Siddhartha to leave his grand palace to seek the purpose and true meaning of life. In his quest to end misery and find lasting happiness, prince Siddhartha discovered what suffering truly means and how to overcome it. After spending many years seeking knowledge and meditating, he reached the final goal of enlightenment and became renowned as The Buddha.

It was only when Buddha Shakyamuni was requested to share his wisdom that he gave his first teaching, well preserved and known as the Four Noble Truths. He didn’t want his followers to accept what he taught merely out of faith, but rather encouraged them to investigate and discover these truths for themselves. To this day the Buddha’s teaching is kept alive in the spirit of sound reasoning and personal investigation.

In this one day course Venerable Michael will give an introduction to the Four Noble Truths, we will meditate together and there will be time for questions and discussion.

De stegvisa lärorna, också kända som lam-rim, tillhandahåller en struktur inom vilken alla Buddhas sutraläror får plats, från start till slut. Lam-rim visar tydligt hur alla läror hör ihop och är menad som en personlig instruktion för vår egna spirituella utveckling.

Kursen Lamrin: den stegvisa vägen till upplysning är för dem som har studerat Discovering Buddshism eller andra program inom tibetansk Buddhism och som vill göra en genomgång av lam-rim och fokusera på meditation och reflektion.

Den första timmen består av en föreläsning, följt av diskussion och avslutningsvis minst en halvtimmes meditation tillsammans över ett specifikt ämne inom lam-rim.

Kursens struktur baseras på häftet “Kopan Monastery lam-rim outline” som sammansatts av Venerable Karin Valham. Det finns tillgängligt i vår bokshop.

Texten är indelad i förberedande övningar och övningar av de s.k. small, medium och great scope av lam-rim. Övningarna inom varje scope är vidare indelade i flera ämnen som ska studeras och mediteras över. Eftersom en djupgående förståelse av alla ämnen inom de tre scopen är väsentlig för spirituell framgång, kommer Venerable Michael också att använda andra källor för lam-rimläror för att komplettera detta häfte.

Det kommer troligtvis att ta ett och ett halvt till två år att gå igenom hela texten. Under våren 2021 kommer vi ha tid för två 7-veckorskurser, innehållande följande ämnen:

Small scope Modul 1: 7 veckor (med start den 9:e mars 2021)

Förberedande övningar
- Visualisering av Guru Shakyamuni Buddha
- Sinne utan början
- Hängivenhet till guru
Perfekt mänsklig återfödelse
De åtta världsliga angelägenheterna

Small scope Modul 2: 7 veckor (med start den 4:e maj 2021)

Obeständighet och död
Dödsprocessen
Lidande i lägre existenstillstånd

De återstående ämnena kommer att studeras hösten 2021 och under år 2022.

Small scope Modul 3: 6 veckor (hösten 2021)

Tillflykt till Buddha, Dharma och Sangha
Karma, lagen om orsak och verkan

Medium scope

De fyra ädla sanningarna
Sanningen om lidandet
Den verkliga orsaken till lidande
Tolv länkar av samberoende uppkomst

Great scope

Jämnmod
Att generera Bodhicitta: det fullständigt öppna hjärtat
De sex perfektionerna
Samatha: stillhetsmeditation
Tomhet

——————ENGLISH——————

The graded stage teachings, also known as the lam-rim, provide a structure into which we can fit all of Buddha’s sutra teachings, from start to finish. The lam-rim clearly shows how all the teachings fit together and is intended as a personal instruction for our own spiritual development.

Lamrim: the graduated path to enlightenment course is for those who have studied Discovering Buddhism or other study programs within Tibetan Buddhism and would like to do a review of lam-rim and focus on meditation and reflection.

There will be teachings during the first hour, followed by some time for discussion, and at least half an hour for doing meditation practice together on the specific lam-rim topic.

The course structure will be based on the booklet “Kopan Monastery lam-rim outline” compiled by Venerable Karin Valham. They are available in our book shop.

The text is divided into preliminary practices and the training of the small, medium and great scopes of the lam-rim. The specific training of each scope is further divided into various topics which are to be studied and meditated on. As an in-depth understanding on each of the topics of the three scopes is essential for one’s spiritual progress, Venerable Michael will also be using other sources of lam-rim teachings to compliment the simple outline and meditations of this booklet.

It will probably take a year and a half or two years to go through the whole text. During spring 2021 we will have time for two 7 week courses, covering the following topics:

Small scope Module 1: 7 weeks (starting on March 9, 2021)

Preliminary practices
- Visualization of Guru Shakyamuni Buddha
Beginningless mind
Guru devotion
Perfect human rebirth
The eight worldly concerns

Small scope Module 2: 7 weeks (starting on May 4, 2021)

Impermanence and death
The death process
Suffering in the lower realms of existence

The remaining topics will be studied in autumn 2021 and in 2022:

Small scope Module 3: 6 weeks (autumn 2021)

Refuge in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha
Karma, the law of cause and effect

Medium scope

The four noble truths
True suffering
True cause of suffering
Twelve branches of dependent arising

Great scope

Equanimity
Generating Bodhicitta; the totally open heart
The six perfections
Samatha: Calm abiding meditation
Emptiness

Varför känner vi oss upplyfta och glada ibland och helt tömda, ledsna och förvirrade vid andra tillfällen? Är andra människor och yttre omständigheter huvudorsaken till varför vi känner oss glada eller ledsna, eller kan det på något sätt vara relaterat till våra egna tankar och handlingar?

Buddha förklarade i sin undervisning om karma exakt hur varje känsla av sorg eller glädje, i själva verket varje situation som vi upplever i våra liv, bra eller dåliga, alla är relaterade till våra egna handlingar. När vi får rätt förståelse för hur karma fungerar kommer vi att kunna skapa orsakerna till att leva ett lyckligare och mer meningsfullt liv.

I den här endagskursen kommer Venerable Michael ge en introduktion till lagen om orsak och verkan, vi kommer att meditera tillsammans och det kommer att finnas tid för frågor och diskussion.

Why do we feel elated and happy at certain times and completely deflated, sad and confused at other times? Are other people and external circumstances the main cause that make us feel happy or sad, or could it be related to our own thoughts and actions in some way?

The Buddha explained in his teachings on karma precisely how every feeling of sadness or happiness, in fact every situation that we experience, good or bad in our life, are all related to our own actions. When we gain proper understanding of karma and how it works, we will be able to create the causes for leading a happier and more wholesome life.

In this one day course Venerable Michael will give an introduction to the law of cause and effect, we will meditate together and there will be time for questions and discussion.

”Sjukdom, lidande och död är en reell del av verkligheten i den mänskliga existensen. Det skulle vara dumt att låtsas att vi inte är sjuka när vi är det, att förneka möjligheten att kunna bli frisk, eller låtsas att vi aldrig kommer att dö. ” – Dalai Lama

De flesta av oss lever i förnekelse av döden. Men det är oundvikligt att vi någon gång i livet kommer att uppleva förlusten av nära och kära. Det är också oundvikligt att själv uppleva döden en dag. Den buddhistiska läran erbjuder praktiska riktlinjer för hur man odlar en medvetenhet om förgänglighet och döden, som hjälper oss stärka vår andliga utövning. Genom att acceptera döden som en del av vår naturliga existens kan vi bättre hantera sorgen när vi förlorar en kär person, likaså kan det hjälpa oss att förbereda oss inför vår egen död.

I denna endagskurs introducerar Venerable Michael några meditationstekniker kring medvetenhet om döden och den faktiska dödsprocessen så som den beskrivs i de buddhistiska texterna. Det kommer även att finnas tid för frågor och diskussioner.

——————ENGLISH——————

“Illness, suffering and death are part of the reality of human existence. It would be foolish to pretend that we are not sick when we are, or that we will never die, as it would be to deny the possibility of ever getting well.” – The Dalai Lama

Most of us live in denial of death. However, it is inevitable that we experience the loss of a loved one at some stage in our lives. It is also inevitable that we ourselves experience death someday. The Buddhist teachings offer practical guidelines on how to cultivate an awareness of impermanence and death, which helps to strengthen our spiritual practice. By accepting death as part of our natural existence, we can better deal with grief when we lose a dear one, likewise it can help prepare for one’s own death.

In this one day course Venerable Michael will introduce some meditation techniques on the awareness of death and the actual death process as explained in the Buddhist texts. There will also be time for questions and discussion.

De grundläggande principerna för hela den buddhistiska läran finns i vad som kallas De fyra kännetecknen: 1) alla beroende fenomen är förgängliga 2) alla förorenade fenomen är otillfredsställande 3) allt som finns är till sin natur tomt och utan fast identitet 4) befrielse är det yttersta tillståndet av frid.

Att utöva buddhism är ett personligt val men man behöver inte vara buddhist för att kunna dra nytta av Buddhas praktiska filosofiska läror. Buddha nådde ett tillstånd av fullt uppvaknande, vilket innebar att han kunde se alltings sanna natur, förstå saker precis som de är. Han formulerade sina insikter i sin undervisning för att hjälpa vanliga människor att övervinna specifika felaktiga uppfattningar, som strider mot de grundläggande sanningar han funnit. Som vanliga varelser har vi alla vissa missuppfattningar om oss själva och världen, vilket sägs vara huvudorsaken till både våra personliga problem och allt lidande i världen.

Det finns ingen enkel lösning, men när vi börjar få en inblick i verkligheten, sägs det att våra problem gradvis kommer att minska och så småningom övervinnas helt. Alla är välkomna att delta och ta reda på om man tycker att undervisningen är användbar!

I den här endagskursen ger Venerable Michael en introduktion till De fyra kännetecknen, vi mediterar tillsammans och det kommer att finnas tid för frågor och diskussion.

——————ENGLISH——————

The fundamental principles of the entire Buddhist doctrine are combined into what is known as The Four Seals: 1) all products are impermanent 2) all contaminated things are in the nature of suffering 3) everything that exists is in the nature of being empty and selfless 4) liberation is the ultimate state of peace.

While practicing Buddhism is a personal choice, one does not need to become a Buddhist to benefit from the Buddhas practical philosophical teachings. The Buddha reached a state of full awakening, which means that he was able to see the true nature of all existence, to understand things exactly as they are. He articulated his insights in his teachings to help common people overcome specific wrong views, which are contrary to these principle truths. As ordinary beings, we all hold certain misconceptions relating to ourselves and the world, which is said to be the main cause for all our personal problems and all the suffering in the world. While there is no easy solution, as we begin to get a glimpse into reality, it is said that our problems will gradually reduce and eventually be overcome completely. Everyone is welcome to come and experience the teachings and find out if you find it useful!

In this one day course Venerable Michael will give an introduction to The Four Seals, we will meditate together and there will be time for questions and discussion.
