Two Semester Course on Indian Psychology

Greetings from Puducherry!
Over the last eight years, the Indian Psychology Institute has organised a whole series of introductory courses in Indian Psychology. The feedback we have received on these courses has been unbelievably positive. They have often been described as “life-changing”, though they were only short introductions to what is actually a whole world of inner discovery.
So this year, we are offering a full-fledged two semester course on Indian Psychology. It will be held in Puducherry from September 1, 2015 to April 30, 2016.
The course is open to anyone who seriously wants to get an experience-based understanding of Indian approaches to psychology. Preference will be given, however, to academics and research scholars who intend to take up teaching or research in the field of Indian Psychology.
For further information and the registration form, please see the OYIP15 Announcement on the IPI website (http://ipi.org.in).
Please note that the last date for this first round of registration is March 31, 2015!
Warm regards,
Matthijs Cornelissen

The Buddhist-matters, thus, would include both the historical remnants and the continuing forms of institutions and practices related to Buddhist cultures. A critical engagement with some of the broad concerns of Buddhisms is often seen to be a felt-need of the time. The current period is defined predominantly by the proliferating consumerist culture, which bounds to cause various crises for human existence and ecological sustainability. With the onset and onslaught of neoliberal globalised world-order, a peaceful coexistence of diverse cultures has become threatened. Various strands of cultural imperialism, including ethnic and religious, are on their fast track. Sensitive minds from across the world tend to invoke the Buddhist imagery for meeting the challenges paused by the growing consumerist penetration……………….
