This lecture will describe six common features that all meditations share: self observation, non-violent social attitudes, the ability to question the validity of one’s own thoughts, valuing community, self-directed living, and resilience in the face of frustration and loss.
This lecture with author, psychiatrist, and Vipassana meditation teacher, Dr. Paul R. Fleischman, is free and open to the general public. The format of the talk includes a one hour lecture which will be followed by a 30-minute Q&A session.
Dr. Fleischman trained at Yale University, practiced psychiatry for over thirty years, and has been honored by the American Psychiatric Association for his unique contributions to the study of psychiatry and religion. He has also been appointed a Vipassana Meditation teacher by Mr. S.N. Goenka, who assigned Dr. Fleischman to present meditation to professionals and intellectuals in the West. In this presentation at UBC, he will build bridges between Vipassana practice and all forms of inner peace. Dr. Fleischman is the author of Wonder: When and Why the World Appears Radiant, and many other books.
