We all want to be happy. We just don’t necessarily know how. We seek happiness outside ourselves – in relationships, possessions, careers, and accolades – and find that external things bring at best temporary relief from dissatisfaction and discontent. So perhaps it is time to seek inside. The Buddha was clear in his teachings – happiness resides within us. By training our mind and heart to be calm and clear, we uncover the sun under the clouds of confusion and grasping. Then the sun can shine. Well, what might that feel like? When negative emotions and external obstacles are reduced by meditation, the four sublime emotional states can be experienced. These four are Loving Kindness, Compassion, Empathetic Joy, and Compassion. Join us as we explore these beautiful states of mind and refresh our hearts with practice, silence, and Dharma.
This retreat will include periods of silent meditation using open awareness practice and concentration on the breath. There will be some guided visualization practice and yoga will be offered. There will be time for reflection and contemplation. Daily Dharma talks and group interviews with the teacher will be part of the experience. Suitable for both novice and experienced meditators.
