Wise Paths to the Heart
With Hans Burghardt

August 21 - 23 | In Person and Online via Zoom

Is warmheartedness a source of well-being? Are human beings kind by nature? How can we activate a sense of connection with oneself and others? How can we make it a source of true happiness? How far can our inner qualities of love, compassion, joy, and so on be developed?

This retreat focuses on cultivating warmheartedness and prosocial attitudes, which are essential for human evolution, well-being, and flourishing. It presents the four immeasurable attitudes of loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity, as drawn from the Buddhist tradition, and explores the mind of awakening, which embraces all sentient beings. It is complemented by references to current scientific understanding on the nature and biological basis of altruism, empathy, compassion, and self- compassion.

Wise Paths to the Heart is the fifth module in the series, Buddhist Mind Science: Activating Your Potential, an FPMT introductory course. Read more about the retreat and register here: https://landofmedicinebuddha.org/retreat-guru/1937/wise-paths-to-the-heart/

"Just understand your mind: how it works, how attachment and desire arise, how ignorance arises, and where emotions come from. It is sufficient to know the nature of all that; that alone can bring you happiness and peace."
- Lama Thubten Yeshe, Make Your Mind an Ocean
