Asking the Right Questions: Clear Thinking in Dharma Practice
This short course is aimed primarily at those who have already participated in one of Jnanaketu’s clear thinking workshops. It aims to consolidate and go beyond the work done on those two-day introductory courses.
It will briefly review the main areas of clear thinking skills using material directly related to the Dharma – identifying and creating arguments, identifying ambiguity and hidden assumptions, formulating questions and using them to investigate topics.
More time (than in the introductory weekends) will be spent practising applications of clear thinking. Applications could include: examining ways of working with views, practising the Elenkhos (investigating a topic by means of questioning and using clear thinking skills), engaging in mini-debates, preparing talks and studying texts, and helping others to learn to think more clearly in Dharma study groups.
It is hoped that this course will be of interest to both those who wish to continue to sharpen their ability to use clear thinking skills in Dharma practice themselves and those who, perhaps as study leaders, would like to help others to do the same.
17 July, 6pm to 20 July, 2pm, at Madhyamaloka, Birmingham
