SUMMARY:Wisdom Energy - co-leading with Padmadrishti - Vajraloka
DESCRIPTION:  \nOur ‘precious human body’ is the first and most important foundation not just of mindfulness\, but of meditation and Dharma practice as a whole. The teaching of the Buddha’s ‘Three Bodies’ (trikaya) suggests that there is far\, far more to the body than meets the eye. These could be summarised as the bodies of truth (dharmakaya)\, of living energy (sambhogakaya) and of manifestation (nirmanakaya). While they are fully realised with awakening\, we can attune and open to them right now through meditation and Dharma practice\, especially body and heart-based practice. \nTejananda and Padmadrishti will guide explorations into the extraordinary nature of our ‘ordinary’ body experience\, including the energy aspect and the value of bringing awareness into the ‘core’ or central channel\, and the three centres of hara (lower abdomen)\, heart and head. They will offer a mix of complementary approaches including meditative explorations\, Qigong practice and somatic practices\, to the same embodied insight \nThis retreat will be an opening to the wisdom energy of our true nature which is here to be discovered. \nTo book\, click on website link below

SUMMARY:Dhyana and Insight - Reevaluating Dhyana - At Metta Vihara\, Hengstdijk\, Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:  \n“Quite secluded from sensual pleasures\, secluded from unwholesome states… one suffuses\, fills\, and permeates one’s entire body with rapture and pleasure born of seclusion\, so that there is no part of one’s whole body that is not pervaded by it.” AN 5.28 \n  \nOn this retreat\, I’ll be offering embodied approaches to dhyana (jhāna) that people have found to be helpful and effective. This may well involve questioning both our own views and approaches\, and a good deal of what the tradition has to say about dhyana.  \n  \nDhyana is far more than just samatha\, or mental calm. Recognising the liberative potential of the first dhyana was the key to the Buddhas own awakening and he taught dhyana as inseparable from insight. Only later tradition came to regard the dhyanas as ‘just’ states of intense concentration. \n  \nThe dhyanas are\, rather\, states of deep\, embodied mental unity\, integrated with awareness of the foundations of mindfulness (satipatthana) and the factors of awakening (bojjhanga).  \n  \nIn practice\, the leading question is ‘what\, in our experience\, is actually helpful?’ We have found that by becoming alive to the energetic immediacy of body experience\, resources for entering dhyana can be discovered as already present – just waiting to be noticed. We’ll explore this in direct experience by delving into the relation between body and breath as well as between body\, awareness and insight. \n  \nThis retreat should be bookable on the Metta Vihara website soon\, link below \n  \n  \n
