The course explores the deepest root of suffering: grasping to inherent existence. The Middle Way teachings of the Buddha’s second turning of the wheel of Dharma look at the nature of identification and the way phenomena exist.
Understanding how the self is perceived, we can reveal the process by which we form attitudes and behaviors in our relations to other sentient beings. With this deflating of self-centered delusion, we are brought into accord with reality and able to inspire well-being for all, including ourselves.
In The Dharma of Well-Being trilogy, Lama Alan Wallace presents a highly organized, articulate, and heartfelt series of three courses, summarizing the essence of the Buddhist teachings as presented in the major sūtra collections attributed to the Buddha.
Each of the three courses focuses on a distinct turning of the wheel of Dharma and its teachings on dispelling suffering and actualizing happiness.
