Friday, April 11 Schedule:
Intro | 7:30 – 9pm
Retreat Topic:
To go from experiencing the endless problems of an uncontrolled mind to experiencing the everlasting happiness of permanent inner peace, we need to practice Buddha’s teachings, or Dharma.
In particular, realizing emptiness is the only experience that alone solves all our problems because it completely destroys self-grasping ignorance, which is the root cause of all our suffering.
In this guided retreat we will learn and practice profound meditations on the correct view emptiness; and we will learn how to unify this liberating wisdom into our daily life, making all of our activities meaningful.
Although the subject matter is profound, the retreat is suitable for everyone regardless of previous experience. Everyone welcome!
