BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY 202
Formation of Ego and Seeing Through the Self
AS PART OF THE YEAR TO WAKE
an online 4 week course
May 14 - June 4
Who are you, really? In this next-level exploration of Buddhist psychology, we’ll look deeply into how the sense of “me” is constructed—and how to experience freedom beyond it.
Through teachings on the Three Root Poisons, Twelve Nidanas, Five Skandhas, and Twofold Emptiness, you’ll uncover how identity, attachment, and suffering interweave to shape perception.
With guided meditations, reflection practices, and discussion, you’ll learn to see yourself and others with greater clarity, spaciousness, and compassion.
When we loosen our grip on who we think we are, we awaken to who we’ve been all along.

“For the four years I've been studying with Lodro, he always pushes me towards more compassion and sensitivity for myself and others. In his teaching, Lodro consistently provides the perfect mix of traditional wisdom and contemporary experience, showing that what we think are our oh-so-modern problems are really pretty much the same as the ones humans have always been encountering.”
