Retreat Title: Anapanasati: Mindfulness as a Path to Awakening
Led by Led by Prakasha
On this retreat we will explore the 16 contemplations of the Buddha’s teaching
on awareness of the in- and out-breath from the Anapanasati Sutta. The breath
is used as a focus for awareness of the four foundations of body, feelings, mental
states and mental objects.
This simple practice is a complete path to awakening. By bringing awareness
and attention to our direct experience we cultivate both tranquility (shamatha)
and penetrating insight (vipashyana). When phenomena are recognised as
impermanent, unsatisfactory and insubstantial, then the three gateways to
liberation arise. The retreat will include puja and ritual with supportive silence
and meditation reviews.
This retreat is suitable for people who have been meditating for at least 3 years
