Mini Mind Matters 3 with Dr. Paul Fulton

[U of T Buddhism & Psychology Student Union]

Greetings from the BPSU and Jungian Society of the University of Toronto! 

Dr. Paul Fulton's video presentation was very well received at Mind Matters 3 in Feb. His presentation was both inspiring and humorous. Many attendees have expressed interest to see Dr. Fulton in person. Therefore, we are happy to inform that the BPSU and Jungian Society have arranged for Dr. Paul Fulton to fly into Toronto in April to meet us in person with another exciting, inspiring and engaging conversation. Admission is FREE with complementary catering. This is probably the best way to celebrate the end of Winter semester. Come and join us!

Seminar Title:  Is the Buddhist path is the most complete practice for overcoming human suffering, and if so, what could possibly go wrong?

Abstract: This talk will begin with a discussion of elements of the Western (medical model) of suffering and the consequence of the medicalization of mental suffering.  Following a brief account of the Buddhist account of suffering, this talk will then take up the limitations and strengths, of both approaches, finally turning to how we may misuse dharma practice by enlisting it in our undharmic pursuits.
