Tuesday, November 13 - Awakening – the Old and New Buddhist Philosophies

 

The origins of Buddhism date back to 450 BC and the philosophy has undergone a constant evolution since then. This has allowed the Buddhism to become timeless, while very current. We will explore the history of Buddhism and how it has undergone a significant transformation in the last century. No matter what religion you follow there is something in the Buddhist philosophy for everyone.

 

 

 

Merl Will-Wallace has been an avid follower of Buddhist philosophy for over 20 years. He has noted its roots flowing into modern psychology and new age thought. Merl has incorporated much of what he has learned in his clinical counseling practice over the years, with many positive outcomes.
