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.

Dana

The cost of the retreat covers room and board and Tri-State Dharma’s expenses. Meditation teachers in this tradition are able to continue their work through Dana, or generous, voluntary giving by students. At retreat’s end, students have an opportunity to practice Dana by offering contributions. There is no specific contribution amount expected; give what feels right.   Please think of this as an integral part of practice.
