PART 3: PERCEPTION AND REALITY

A goal of Buddhism is to understand the true nature of Reality, which implies we don’t currently know what it is. Yet we tend to think that Reality is all around us and evident, so where are we going wrong? Starting with the Discourse of the Explication of Underlying Meaning (Saṅdhinirmocana Sūtra), we unpack and explore the Buddha’s teaching on mind and perception in the light of a modern scientific understanding. The evening will encompass a talk with tricky questions, meditation and discussions groups.
