As society becomes more virtual and computerized, human values seem to be progressively eroded. What wisdom does our study of the Dharma give us that helps make sense of the crisis in human values facing developed and developing societies. Do “ancient technologies” of meditation and wisdom provide insights that... could guide our steps to meet the current crisis?

Lecture #2 (in English): Healing our Minds: Buddhism and Stress
Do we understand the Four Noble Truths as the Buddha taught them? Should we understand “dukkha” as suffering or as stress or as dissatisfaction? This lecture will attempt to update familiar Buddhist terminology for the 21st century, making use of the vocabulary of psychology and the insights of meditation. The goal is to empower meditators to heal the mind using a fresh perspective on ancient methods.
