Welcome to Philosophy@DP

Welcome everyone to the Philosophy@DP blog.

We meet Saturday mornings 10.30am-12.30pm in the Deakinprime boardroom, 6th floor 601 Bourke Street, Melbourne. Non Deakinprime employees may meet Jonathon at 10.20am in the foyer to be buzzed up to the 6th floor.

There is no cost attached to attending this course. Our CEO Kean has donated the facilities as a community service, and I as facilitator have also donated my time and expertise.

All I would request is that everyone treat each other with dignity, respect and tolerance. We have an abundance to explore and learn from each other, so come prepared to share your ideas!

Our 1st topic is "Mindfulness" weeks 1-4

Our 2nd topic is "Generosity" weeks 4-8

Our 3rd topic is "Gratitude" weeks 9-12

You may like to bring a pen and notepad with you to class - it's up to you.

I'd like to share with you this wisdom from the Buddha, and ask you to be mindful of this as we learn together as a group:

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.

Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many.

Do not believe in anything simply because it is found in your religious books.

Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.

But after observation and alanlysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to good and benefit of all, then accept it and live up to it."

look forward to seeing you on Saturday morning!
