Jhanas Retreat
with Leigh Brasington
The retreat will emphasize the application of the meditative absorptions in a regular sitting practice and is suitable only for experienced meditators with prior retreat experience. The Jhanas, commonly called the meditative absorptions, are a method of one-pointed concentration taught in Theravaden Buddhism. The retreat will emphasize the teaching of this technique plus its application to insight (Vipassana) practice. The retreat will be held in Noble Silence with sitting and walking meditation and personal interviews. Practice in the meditative absorptions provides a strong and stable foundation for the arising and understanding of the experience of insight. |
