Two Day Retreat with Marv Treiger: The Four Radiant Immeasurables
March 18, 2017 @ 4:00 am - 11:00 am
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.
