CLASS INFO
Embark on a step-by-step exploration of the Ten Ox-Herding Pictures from the vantage point of the Eight Consciousnesses. The Ten Ox-Herding Pictures will vividly illustrate the stages we traverse in our journey, while the Eight Consciousnesses model will serve as a guide on how to navigate through these various stages.
Throughout this journey, we will gain understanding in a) the nature of self, b) how to let go of the fear of death, and ultimately (c) discover how we can serve others.
