How can we ha rness imagination in traditions that radically emphasize present moment aw areness? How can teachings of interdependence provide a basis for a deep s ense of always being supported while constantly challenging us to be aware of oppressive systems and harmful patterns in which we live? These questi ons are addressed in Vasubandhu’s seminal Yogacara Buddhist text\, “Treati se on Three Natures”. Yogacara Buddhist teachings clearly show how the pat h to liberation from collective causes of suffering such as patriarchy\, r acism\, and climate change\, are inseparable from the personal\, momentary \, experience of our lives. This course is structured around the “Treatise on Three Natures” and balances teaching\, dialogue\, and meditation to ma ke space for integrated learning and transformation.
