Uncovering the First Foundation of Mindfulness: Insight Meditation Retreat - RSJanuary 29 - February 3, 2010
Retreat is Closed | |
Mindfulness of the body is the first of the Buddha’s teachings known as the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. This retreat will explore its six distinct groups of practices – the breath, the four postures of the body, mindfulness of all activities, the 32 parts of the body, the four material elements and nine cemetery meditations.
Many meditators are familiar with the first three practices. The last three, however, are rarely taught in the West. Participants in this course will gain a systematic and comprehensive exposure to the entire range of these body practices.
Listen to an interview with Richard Shankman.
This retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
A limited number of 'You Choose' fee spaces are available for this retreat. This means that you can establish your own course fee based on your means, if you face financial hardship. A minimum of $10 per day is required. If you would like to register, email registration@dharma.org. | |
