BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY FOR MINDFULNESS MEDITATORS | ONLINE WORKSHOP – Sept. 10th, 2023
In your personal development, are you more of a “personal work through therapy” type, or “personal work through meditation” type? More often than not, when I work with people they fall into one of these two types… and it is often unconscious. This leads to a lot of confusion about the nature of personal development work which is problematic. And the fact is that both the therapeutic AND the meditative approaches are necessary for an integrated development.
There’s a well-known teaching from the Buddha of “The 2 Darts”. This teaching points to the two ways that you experience pain and suffering in your life. The 1st dart is when you get “hit” by something in life that causes pain and suffering. The 1st type of darts happen in life and to a certain extent, they are impossible to avoid. The 2nd type of dart is entirely different.

“Annica, Dukkha, & Anatta – The 3 Transformational Keys To Insight Meditation”
Vipassana meditation is usually translated as “Insight Meditation” because the practice quite naturally triggers off a process of purification that develops progressively through stages of insight knowledge. With each stage, a meditator incrementally gains insight into the Dhamma or the ultimate reality. Thus “Insight Meditation”.
