FIFTH Joshua Tree Vipassana-Metta Meditation Retreat
Saturday March 6 - Saturday March 20, 2010
| The Practice: |
Tranquil Wisdom meditation combines the practice of mindfulness with concentration in a seamless flow. Deepening comes when the meditator can easily keep the meditation object in mind. Joy and tranquility grows as the mind becomes more collected and calm. With these mental skills the meditator can investigate how phenomena occur in the mind and apply this investigation towards the problem of suffering and its cessation. |
| The Teacher: |
Ven. Bhante Vimalaramsi, an American monk who was ordained in the Theravada Buddhist tradition, has founded the American Forest Tradition at the Dhamma Sukha Meditation Center in Missouri. He has spent over 30 years practicing, studying and teaching the Buddha's way to cessation of suffering. More information about him and a large collection of his talks are available at www.dhammsukha.org |
| Retreat: |
Dhamma Dena Vipassana Center at Joshua Tree California is in the high desert in a sparsely populated neighborhood. Ven. Bhante Vimalaramsi will give a Dhamma talk from the Suttas every evening and interview each participant daily in order to most effectively guide each student to maximize his/her progress and understanding. The Eight Precepts are kept during the retreat. There is an emphasis on lightheartedness, smiling and fun while doing this important work. |
