Description: |
This course provides a brief and concise introduction to four Buddhist tenets called The Four Noble Truths and their application to anxiety as a mental phenomenon. The goal of this presentation is to provide a glimpse of a drastically different psychological perspective of anxiety. There will be limited discussion of the purpose of meditation as a method in treating psychological and emotional problems such as anxiety.
A comprehensive review or discussion of the psychological insights of Buddhism and the teaching of meditation is beyond the scope of this course or any one course. It is important to note that it requires years of dedication and study to gain a true understanding of Buddhist tenets and philosophy. This author encourages readers whose curiosity is piqued to further their understanding of the personal and professional usefulness of Buddhist philosophy.
