จิตวิทยา ตามแนวพุทธเพื่อการเยียวยาจิตใจ | Buddhist philosophy of mind and mental healing

Course Descriptions

This course aims to introduce the concept of the mind in Buddhist philosophy, exploring its appearance, composition, nature, and functioning, as well as providing an in-depth analysis of how to heal its dysfunctional aspects. The course will first cover the foundational doctrines of Buddhism, including the concepts of no-self, impermanence, dependent origination, and karma theory. These core principles provide the necessary background for understanding the mind's workings. Building on this foundation, the course will further introduce the Yogācāra school's analysis of the mind, with a particular focus on its operational mechanisms and, especially, the healing of negative psychological states. This includes a detailed examination of the mind, mental factors, and the remedies for afflictive mental states. Buddhist psychological analysis is oriented toward liberation, investigating the afflictions generated by habitual self-other duality, such as emotions and incorrect attitudes. It proposes the cultivation of equanimity, wisdom, and correct decision-making to guide the mind towards a non-discriminative and liberated mode of cognition.
