Welcome to the new blog Clinical Dhamma - for all those
interested in applications of Buddhist psychology to all types of clinical,
health and social care practice. We intend to use this blog as an online forum to share information about our clinical teaching and practice at SIBA,
Sri Lanka, and how it relates to scholarship, research and clinical practice in
the area of applied Buddhist psychology worldwide. We are about to launch a new
online Diploma in Buddhist Counselling, which students can study from anywhere
in the world, at any time of day, from their desktop. The delivery of online audio,
video and text teachings will be supported by 2 optional annual meditation
retreats at SIBA, Sri Lanka, and occasional skills development workshops at
SIBA for those who can attend.Our vision is to establish an online hub for the exchange of information in the broad area of applied Buddhist Psychology, and a unique counselling clinic in Sri Lanka, plus clinical retreat facility for those wishing to pursue healing away from the distractions of work and home.
In future blog posts we will present a selection of interviews to introduce our staff- with Dr Sarath Chandrasekera, who is the Course Leader and Head of Buddhist Studies at SIBA, and then with Venerable 'Bhante' Buddharakkhita, our esteemed meditation instructor, who is an established teacher of meditation in the USA, Europe, Africa and increasingly, worldwide.
We welcome any comments, suggestions or contributions here. Email Dr Jo Nash
