SUMMARY:The Science of Perception
DESCRIPTION:The science of perception\nSpeakers: Ven. Dr. Mahinda TheroDetails: \nDr Hannah Gould hosts this enlightening session with Venerable Dr Mahinda Thero for the Contemplative Studies Centre. \nThis event promises an engaging dialogue for students\, academics\, meditation practitioners\, and anyone interested in the science behind how your mind works and how this knowledge can help you promote wellbeing and mental health. \nVenerable Dr Mahinda Thero\, a former research scientist with a PhD from the Australian National University\, will share his transformative journey from a life of material success to one of spiritual enlightenment. Delve into his personal experiences and struggles within the Australian context\, highlighting the profound effects Buddhism has had on his life. \nAs sentient beings\, we experience the world through our minds\, and every moment is a new opportunity to perceive it differently. From the Buddhist perspective\, the world as we see it is a creation of our mind\, shaped by our beliefs\, experiences\, and emotions. Science and technology have advanced our understanding of the external world\, yet we have yet to fully understand our internal world and how it affects our experience and understanding of the external world. The mind is like a tool\, one we’ve had since birth yet don’t know how to properly use\, which\, quite obviously\, results in day-to-day troubles and mental health issues such as stress\, anxiety and depression. \nThis seminar offers an opportunity to delve deeper into understanding the mind. It explains how perception occurs in our minds\, how our beliefs shape our reality\, and how mindful awareness can help us develop a deeper awareness of our mental processes. By better understanding the mind\, we can learn the underlying mechanism of negative thought patterns and emotions\, which can guide us to achieve inner peace. \nMoreover\, the seminar opens a gateway to understanding the theory of cause and effect\, which is essential to unpuzzling the reality we perceive. Gain insight into your mind\, the science of perception\, and a deeper understanding of how we experience the world\, which will help you work with any environment in your day-to-day life. \nJoin us for a discussion that promises to be both informative and transformative\, catering to both the mind and the heart. \nVenue: Kenneth Myer Building\, The University of Melbourne\, 30 Royal Parade\, Parkville VIC 3052URL: https://events.unimelb.edu.au/CSC/event/37271-in-conversation-with-venerable-dr-mahinda-thero-

SUMMARY:Gateway to Nibbana: The Buddha’s Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Gateway to Nibbana: The Buddha’s Wisdom\nSpeakers: Ven. Dr. Mahinda TheroDetials: \nThe Buddha\, considered by many to be the greatest man to have walked the surface of this Earth\, discovered the root cause of suffering in all its forms\, such as fear\, grief\, and discontentment. He introduced a philosophy which precisely describes the inner workings of the mind. As sentient beings\, we interpret the world we experience through our senses with our minds\, and each moment presents an opportunity to perceive it in a new light. The world we see is a creation of our minds\, shaped by our beliefs\, experiences\, and emotions. \nThe Buddha realised the true nature of perception and unveiled the mechanism that roots all suffering in the mind. The objective of this session is to help you explore this phenomenon and pave a path to liberate yourself from all adverse mentalities. Moreover\, this session will enable you to understand the teaching of Cause & Effect\, the cornerstone of the Buddha’s teachings and its relevance to how we perceive the world in which we live. \nView the world through the Buddha’s eyes and gain insight into the true purpose of your life and understand your ultimate duty and responsibility you have as a human being. \nVenue: Buddhist Library\, 90-92 Church St\, Camperdown NSW 2050
