The Courage to Be Free is a series of modules designed for those who wish to deepen their knowledge of Buddhism. It offers a clear transition from a beginner’s approach to a more committed practice.

This module addresses a central theme of any sincere inner search: spiritual materialism. As Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche said:
“The problem is that the ego can convert anything for its own use, including spirituality.”

At a time when there are countless spiritual options, an essential question arises:

“Am I consuming spirituality, or am I on an authentic path?”

In this module, we will explore the antidotes to spiritual materialism through the prism of Refuge and bodhichitta.
