The Buddha advised us not only to overcome unhealthy states but to cultivate states of true well-being such as gratitude, kindness, and compassion. What’s more, he encouraged us to continue to work towards deepening these states when possible. A profound support in doing this is to connect with the unnameable mystery from which all states emanate–what Ven. Ajahn Sumedho called “The Shining through of the Divine.”
This retreat will focus on cultivating these states and rather than taking ownership of them, to keep connecting to the source within us from which they arise. As they shine through, they become a gift to everyone in our lives.
This retreat is for practitioners who want to deepen their meditation practice through heartfelt connection to our natural goodness, well-being and joy.
A silent retreat with a schedule of sitting and walking meditation, with instruction, Dharma talks and practice discussions with the teachers. |
