Easing Awake
March 13, 2015 - March 14, 2015
Doug Kraft will present a daylong meditation retreat for new and experienced meditators.
In the earliest records of what the Buddha actually said about meditation, we find an elegant, nuanced, and amazingly effective practice. It is a cousin to the Insight Meditation often taught in this country. And, it has differences. It rejects one-pointed concentration and emphasizes relaxation, ease, and sense of humor. It blends the cultivation of ease with cultivation of insight. As your practice deepens through various stages (jhānas), the instructions shift to take advantage of the experience you have gained.
During the day there will be time for instruction, questions and answers, and silent meditation.
