Basics Of Buddhism: The Awakened Qualities Of The Heart

Many of us wait for conditions to bring about enjoyable emotions such as love or peace. But wisdom traditions teach that we can in fact practice cultivating these states, as they are at the core of our true nature but often get obscured by fear and confusion. This course invites you on a profound exploration of daily 'heart practices', drawn from different Buddhist traditions, to comprehensively promote positive emotional states. These pro-social attitudes- called the 'abode of the gods'- include loving-kindness (founded on forgiveness), compassion, joy and equanimity. Although you may want to complete this course in 30 days, it is recommended to repeat a given heart practice until it takes root in your heart and mind.

A beautiful course showcasing the depth of the sometimes forgotten heart practices. It took me longer than I’d like to admit to appreciate these practices and they’ve done wonders for my daily quality of life!

This is a wonderful course for helping me to cultivate an undefended heart. I realize that I don’t outgrow heart practices. I am grateful for this heartwarming 30 day course, and I plan to return to the days of practicing joy tomorrow. 🌺🌸
