Two Day Retreat with Marv Treiger: The Four Radiant Immeasurables

March 18, 2017 @ 4:00 am - 11:00 am

Each day of this retreat will be complete in itself but the full power of the experience comes in attending both days.  Usually, these practices are taught in the classic manner for monastics and begin with loving kindness.  Here the teaching order is deliberately changed to account for the challenges of daily life.  Also the emphasis shifts somewhat to mapping and dismantling our common reactive patterns to each of the Immeasurables.

Day 1: Equanimity & Loving Kindness

Equanimity, donning the garb of “warm clarity,” balanced and unafraid, will be our starting point.  We begin here because prejudice and indifference arise as common obstacles in ordinary life.  In our daily life the effort to dismantle reactive patterns is key to steady progress.  If we restrict ourselves to cultivating “positive emotions,” we will eventually fall on our face.

The Buddha observed that the mind “shines brightly”.  It arises naturally when uncovered.  We prefer to love the lovable and shut down when our emotions are shaped by our prejudices.  When unencumbered, Loving-Kindness melts Winter’s ice and suffuses our being with Spring’s thaw.  It follows without taint from the equanimous mind.

Each day we will practice Qigong’s Sitting 8 Brocades (optional) to power our practice.  Each attendee will receive a written outline for home practice.

Join us in avoiding decay and uncovering corruption in our practice of these Divine Teachings.  I mean….Wow!

Potluck immediately following.
