class=\"has-text-align-center bibliothikh-text-rf42a0cb\">When we study Buddhism we are studying ourselves \u2013 learning about the nature of our own minds. The focus is not on something paramount; it is on simple &amp; everyday things like how to live our lives and how to manage daily challenges so that the mind remains calm and healthy. Having said that, the emphasis is on experiential knowledge-wisdom, not dogmatic views. Adapted in Western terminology one could say that Buddhism is not a religion, but rather a practical philosophy, science or psychology.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns bibliothikh-columns-rf42a0cb is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column bibliothikh-column-left-rf42a0cb is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><p class=\"has-text-align-right\">In English<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/%ce%b2%ce%b9%ce%b2%ce%bb%ce%b9%ce%bf%ce%b8%ce%ae%ce%ba%ce%b7\/\">Buddhism<\/a><\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/%ce%b2%ce%b9%ce%b2%ce%bb%ce%b9%ce%bf%ce%b8%ce%ae%ce%ba%ce%b7\/\">Meditation<\/a><\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/%ce%b2%ce%b9%ce%b2%ce%bb%ce%b9%ce%bf%ce%b8%ce%ae%ce%ba%ce%b7\/\">Buddhist Psychology and Philosophy<\/a><\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/%ce%b2%ce%b9%ce%b2%ce%bb%ce%b9%ce%bf%ce%b8%ce%ae%ce%ba%ce%b7\/\">Other<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column bibliothikh-column-mid-rf42a0cb is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-2b7ec288 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/library-theravada-image.jpg ,https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/library-theravada-image.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/library-theravada-image.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/library-theravada-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-9974\" width=\"513\" height=\"741\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column bibliothikh-column-right-rf42a0cb is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container cover-video-group-rf42a0cb uag-blocks-common-selector uagb-block-1004d7e0 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull has-parallax\" style=\"min-height:450px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-9980 has-parallax\" style=\"background-position:50% 50%;background-image:url(https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/11.-buddha-image_b.jpg)\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group max-width-1208-rf42a0cb is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-group cover-video-group-text-image-rf42a0cb left-side-rf42a0cb is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><p class=\"has-text-align-center cover-video-header-rf42a0cb\">Watch our Videos<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image aligncenter uagb-block-2e27ba72 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-zoomin wp-block-uagb-image--align-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/%ce%b2%ce%af%ce%bd%cf%84%ce%b5%ce%bf\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/circle-play-regular-1200x1200.webp ,https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/circle-play-regular.webp 780w, https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/circle-play-regular.webp 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theravada.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/circle-play-regular-1200x1200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-11474\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center cover-video-text-rf42a0cb\"><strong>Theravada Buddhism.<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"\/en\/videos\/\">Our Video Library<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container orange-background-text-rf42a0cb uagb-block-ccbbd8e4 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\"><div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dd893218c6d95f1ce231c2f81ca05d7f\">\u201cWisdom springs from meditation; without meditation wisdom wanes.
