NOBLE SILENCE. LIGHT BREAKFAST AND LUNCH INCLUDED.
Description:
The four noble truths are the Buddha’s first teaching, which is said to contain the sum of all of his teachings. There is a rarely taught practice, based on one of the oldest Theravadan texts, of utilizing the four noble truths to attain twelve insights that bring freedom and well-being. These insights prescribe a radically different way for us, with all of our vulnerability and fear, to engage with life just as it is and find joy even in the midst of suffering.
In this four-day, silent retreat, we will explore each of the four noble truths in depth and learn how we can apply the insights of this teaching to our daily lives. The goal of this retreat is to discover how the four noble truths become the four ennobling truths.
Each day will have periods of sitting and walking meditation along with dharma talks, discussion, and Q&A.
Open to all levels of experience.
