Emptiness: A Meditation & Study Retreat for Experienced Students

The teachings, practices and realizations of Emptiness have been important themes in Buddhism from the early days of Theravada on through the development of the later Mahayana schools. The key meaning of emptiness is the lack of essence or substance in both ourselves and the world. In this retreat, held within the context of silence, we will introduce and explore the various meanings and implications of emptiness in Buddhist thought and practice through talks, readings, reflections, guided meditations and group discussions.
