Diploma in Buddhist Psychology (Theory)
Buddhism is a path of liberation for the world. In the Buddhist analysis, peace in the

world and peace in the hearts of people are simply different aspects of the same

thing. Whether we intervene at the social level or in individual lives, the goal is the

same. We seek to cultivate a more compassionately engaged way of life that is both

happier and more constructive. Buddhist psychology is not, therefore, based upon

the idea of advantage to an individual being in conflict with advantage to the

community. It is precisely the same kinds of delusions that create neurosis as create

an oppressive world and neurosis and oppression can be seen as closely related

phenomena. If we would make a better world, we must also work on ourselves. If we

would work on ourselves, we must find some concern for our world.
