Discover how an understanding of the Abhidhamma (or Buddhist psychology) can help us find freedom from suffering. The Abhidhamma shows that experiences of life – from birth to death, and from ignorance to liberation – are not personal processes but a series of deeply conditioned impersonal events. When we become entangled in the illusion of ownership by identifying with processes that are unfolding naturally, we struggle and suffer. As we practice mindfulness and develop awareness, we gradually experience more and more moments of liberation from conditioned suffering.
This lecture will include discussion and a guided meditation.
