In Buddhism, the issue of relationship represents more than how we get along with lovers, family, or friends. It explores the basic split between self and others and the conflict inherent in this dualistic view. It looks at how we relate with our world altogether.
Yet, it is in our personal relationships that this challenge is at its most intense and intimate, and that’s why some have said that working with our relationships is a fast track to enlightenment.
During this second annual collaboration between Omega and Shambhala Sun, we learn about the basic Buddhist view of self and other, and work specifically with relationship issues in that light.
Joining us on this exploration is an extraordinarily learned and diverse faculty, who bring years of study and experience in a range of relationship issues, from personal intimacy to organizational leadership.
The faculty represent three prominent Buddhist traditions in the West—Zen, Theravadin, and Vajryana—and lead us in a blend of individual presentations, meditation practice, and question-and-answer sessions. Those new to Buddhism and longtime practitioners alike discover new ways of seeing—and being—themselves in all manner of relationships, and learn to help others do the same.
