The foundation of Buddhist psychology lies in the theories of dependent origination and of conditioning. In this workshop we shall revisit this material as well as the principles that underpin the Buddhist attempt to live a life of unconditional compassion. “Since this book was published in 1995 I have been on a long, rich journey. The advent of this book was the opening door that precipitated us into offering a professional training programme for therapists based on Buddhist psychology principles and led to our intense experimentation with the contemporary implications of this age-old corpus of wisdom and know-how. Let’s revisit the source, review the journey and see where we are up to. Let’s ask ourselves once again, what is it that is truly therapeutic and what is the way of being that one needs to adopt to be an agent of such healing?”
