Mindfulness and several other principles with Buddhist origins have been woven into modern day healthcare, especially in Mental Health. 

​

Terms like Metta (loving-kindness), Vipassana (insight), Sati (mindfulness) etc., are commonly used. DBT, CBT and other modalities are heavily influenced by core Buddhist underpinnings.

​

For example, The Four Foundations of Mindfulness, as outlined in the  Satipatthana Sutta  have been instrumental in providing a framework for several hybrid modalities and secular courses.

​

In this course we offer an introduction to the major tenets that have now become part of western healthcare.

​

We will dive into: 

- Origins

- Traditional uses

- How these teaching have been integrated

- Subtleties that may have been lost in translation 

​

Expect to learn: 

- Key Suttas (the primary text)

- Big picture- How do the pieces fit with each-other 

- The difference between religious aspect of Buddhism 

and Buddhist psychology 

-  A brief history of Buddhism in the west as it applies to healthcare
