Applying Buddhist Perspectives to Ordinary LifeThe first in a series on Buddhist views of reality drawn from different Buddhist schools, this course will examine human existence and day-to-day life patterns, and suggest ways to correct negative tendencies and enhance life overall. Emphasis will be placed on perspectives that can be understood by newcomers to meditation training, but will also include some more advanced teachings. Each point will be explained in terms of several levels of insight, with suggestions for applications in practice.
