About This Workshop

While our world has reached its highest literacy rate, the subjects of the books people read are largely about material things; not about how to read their own thoughts - let alone read their emotional feelings and likely consequences in the future.

In Buddhism, the incorrect thoughts, opinions, perceptions and destructive intentions, attentions and passions that are formed in the mind are knowns as 'kleshas'.

Kleshas, the afflictions are very subtle and difficult to spot unless one's mind is trained to detect and recognise them.

Under the sway of undetected kleshas, many deeds, words and thoughts are consummated, which become the cause of all undesirable experiences. But there are very few who are taught the alphabet of emotional literacy. There are so few who know the value of reflexive cognitive ability, let alone those who practise and teach it.

Emotional illiteracy is perhaps the cause of depression, anxiety and associated mental health problems faced in this world. Those who have many of the emotional problems are otherwise very well read in their field of studies and have authored many books. Yet they are illiterate about their own feelings and emotions. Owing to this, they are communicating without subjectively knowing their own intent, thoughts, feelings and emotions and the effect they will have in their own witnessed experiences in life.

In this course, one will learn to read one's own mind and witness how all perceptions are first created in the mind with the aid of certain external stimuli. Perceived objects remain completely at the whim of the mind, with or without affliction.
