6-Day, 5-Night Residential Retreat with Marv Treiger

At Lake Tahoe with Marv
August 17-22, 2014
MINDFULNESS with BREATHING

The Anapanasati Sutta “mindfulness with in & out breathing” sutta is unique among the Buddha’s teachings in that it provides practical meditation instruction for the Path of Awakening. This two page, bare-bones teaching is divided into 16 lessons – each comprised of a couple of lines of text followed by practices grouped under four headings: body, feelings, mind & insight. These teachings unify shamatha & vipassana, i.e. calm and insight, in each step along the way.

The first 12 lessons draw from his ascetic practices (energetic & determined) as well as preparing the ground for jhana (absorption). Asceticism prepares the body and jhana prepares the mind for entering the realms of Wisdom that are right here before our very eyes. The final 4 lessons apply the lens of Insight to know Truth as a lived reality. We will examine, practice and review all 16 lessons during our days together. Optional kundalini yoga with Jim Dakin and/or kayaking available afternoons.
