March Series: The Inner Science of Happiness

Tuesdays · 7-8:30pm with Zoe Greenbaum

Buddhism is a scientific method for improving our human nature and qualities through developing the capacity of our mind. In a sense, it’s a science of happiness. 

We like science because it’s logical, reproducible and trustworthy. But often, we do not approach our development of happiness and well-being in a scientific way. Our mental health is so important, so we need to rethink our approach!

To do this, we can experiment with  and experientially research what will give us lasting peace. We have all tried many things that have NOT worked. Through this course, we will see how we can experiment relying on the Three Jewels of Buddhism, Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. We can see how we can relate to these in a logical, sensible manner and can see if, through relying on them, our life will improve.


Everyone welcome!
