Retreat Title: Simply Being
Led by Tejananda
‘Simply being’ points to a quality of awakeness and receptivity that we can recognise at any moment, both inside and outside of formal meditation. It’s an openness to full presence in our being – in our body, senses and awareness. It suggests being what we really are, beyond conceptual fabrication and inseparable from nature itself, which is undivided and ungraspable. In opening to the depths of our immediate experience (shamatha), we may glimpse ‘basic space’ – the all-pervading, pristine awareness-emptiness that is inseparable from manifest compassionate energy (vipashyana). We’ll explore this by way of the five jnanas or ‘undivided-awarenesses’ which make up the dharmadhatu-mandala – a useful, simple, and very practical ‘map’ of our immediate experience. And it all points us back to ‘just this’ – what is here already, unnoticed: simply being.
