Shamatha Meditation: Cultivating Meditative Quiescence
With Drubpön Lama Karma
May 12 - 15, 2019
On a daily basis, our minds run wild and fall victim to afflictive emotions, suffering, depression, laziness, and other negative thought patterns. In this retreat we will learn Shamatha meditation, the Buddhist practice of cultivating a mind imbued with clarity and concentration. This is done by practicing single-pointed meditation through mindfulness of breathing and other techniques such as concentration on a meditative object. We will do intensive practice of Shamatha to gradually bring our own minds under our control so that we may begin to tap into our highest potential in our spiritual practice and daily life.
This retreat is open to all.
Suggested Dana: $160 – $200
