| Our path of practice leads to a destination: peace. Can we engage with practice such that our attitude along the path embodies the qualities of the destination? Can we approach every moment of awareness with ease, so that we are continuously cultivating goodwill and release? Can we avoid the pitfall of the practice becoming a struggle, or worse, a grim duty? Can we mindfully nourish our minds and hearts with the wholesome happiness available on the path?
We will explore integrating attitudes of peace, ease, release, friendliness, and well-being into the fabric of every moment on and off the cushion, in service of awakening for the sake of all beings and ourselves.
This retreat is silent except for teacher-led Q&A, small groups, or other practice meetings. |
