Enlightenment:
Idealized or Real?
Nov. 13th - 14th
Harvard Divinity School
The second program in a series in which
Psychoanalysts and Buddhist teachers speak
openly and honestly about the nitty-gritty
of human liberation. Through panels and
small group conversations, these conferences
engage all participants – speakers and
audience – in reflective conversations about
our discoveries from deep investigations of
the mind. Idealization, with its tendencies
to split our experiences into expansive and
contractive or pure and impure, is required
to enter into psychoanalytic and Buddhist
practices. When idealization is not humanized,
however, it leads to destructive projections,
self-attacks, lying and ethical violations.
This conference will focus precisely on what
it means to be enlightened and how it is a
human activity with human failures.
