ATTAIN QUANTUM VIEW
A Certificate Program Course
Having previously reached the milestones of renunciation and altruistic resolve (Bodhichitta) we now proceed to the next stage on the Gradual Path (Lam Rim) to awakening with an in-depth exploration of the wisdom realizing emptiness. Far from an aloof nothingness, master Nagarjuna proclaimed emptiness to be the ‘womb of compassion.’
Joined by an esteemed guest faculty of world renown scholars we will traverse the development of the Buddhist philosophy of emptiness across nearly a thousand years of history beginning with the Buddha’s Heart Sutra revealed by Geshe Tenzin Zopa, the middle-way approach of Nagarjuna taught by Professor Guy Newland, the final nonduality of relative and ultimate truths presented by Tibetologist Robert Thurman, and the relationship between nonduality, quantum physics and activism espoused by quantum theorist Amit Goswami. Interspersed, Miles will guide you on how to meditate on emptiness as well as integrate slogans from the mind training tradition into daily life such as ‘drive all blames into one’ and ‘become a conjurer of illusions’.
