Week 2: Buddhist foundation-the four noble truths-the core of all Buddhist traditions.
Week 3: Buddhist ethics and means-the 10 perfections-giving, morality, forbearance, zeal, meditation, wisdom, compassion, intention, spiritual power, knowledge and the five precepts.
Week 4: Buddhist meditation-different purposes and applications-from more calm in everyday life to awakening, from visualization to just sitting.
Week 5: Buddhist psychology is complex and deep. We will touch upon the Abhidhamma and the three kayas-.
