Retreat Title: Satipatthana The Buddha’s teaching on Mindfulness

Led by Bodhananda and Tejananda

For people with some experience of Triratna meditation,
or of mindfulness meditation approaches.
The Satipatthana Sutta is one of the most important and influential discourses of the early Buddhist teachings. The Buddha shows how attention to four ‘spheres’ of our being - body, feelings, mental-emotional events and evanescent momentary sensations (dhammas) – can lead to awakening to our true nature and the cessation of dukkha (suffering, stress, dissatisfaction).
This radically transformative teaching is compassion in action. Offering means that effectively address the alienation, disembodiment and stress which increasingly characterise life today, it restores a deep integrity of body, heart, mind and world. It is heartening that mindfulness is becoming widely taught as a way of alleviating distress and suffering through approaches such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). In this retreat we’ll explore the original satipatthana teaching of the Buddha that takes mindfulness and compassion ever deeper. As such, it will be a helpful retreat for anyone wishing to deepen their mindfulness practice and particularly for those studying mindfulness based approaches such as MBSR or MBCT.
