Meditation Day - Guarding and Quieting the Senses

We all experience life through the senses: whether seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching or thinking about the sensory world. While the senses are usually a source of pleasure, they can also be a source of immense suffering. To not understand how the senses work is to risk not understanding life itself.

During this retreat, Ven. Canda draws on the timeless wisdom of the Buddha to discuss how we can relate to our sensory experience and get the best out of life.

The day includes Dhamma reflections; guided, silent and walking meditation periods; and an opportunity for Q&A.
