The Way of the Great Perfection
A program of the All-Encompassing Path to Enlightenment
Exploring the three types of faith on our spiritual path
A talk by senior teacher Jan van der Breggen
In this month’s talk senior teacher Jan van der Breggen will guide a shared reflection on the topic of confidence, or faith, which in the teachings is presented as a crucial element of our spiritual journey.
The Tibetan Depa is multifaceted, and involves trust in the qualities of the three jewels, as well as confidence in our own innate wakefulness, born from study, reflection, and meditation.
We will approach these different aspects through the framework of the ’three types of faith’. Developing faith will make us naturally turn towards the Buddha as our guide, the dharma as the path, and the sangha as our companions on the path. This is why developing faith is presented as the first step in the process of taking refuge.
