December 11 - December 16, 2009 (Friday to Wednesday)


The Buddha highlighted five spiritual faculties that need to be developed for awakening to manifest: trust, persistence, mindfulness, concentration and wisdom. As these qualities mature, their power carries us inexorably to the goal of nibbana, the timeless freedom from suffering that is always present. This retreat will explore and cultivate these faculties, using the body and mind as the ground of practice. Within an atmosphere of silent contemplation, daily instruction, meditation, chanting, discussion and optional qigong will be offered.
