Join us on the shores of beautiful Lake Tahoe for a 4-Day, 3-Night Residential Silent Meditation Retreat with Santikaro,
Sunday March 31, 3pm- Wednesday April 3, 1pm.
• As we encounter different types of meditation beyond what we started with, a key questions looms: What is the purpose of any practice or approach that we try or hear about? What needs do each practice or approach meet and how do they do so?
• In this 4-day retreat we will survey the main categories of meditation, as found in early Buddhist teachings, and practice an example of each.
• Having an overview of the broad meditative terrain — with all its diversity and competition for our practice time — will be helpful in assessing our true needs and choosing approaches that suit those needs.
Santikaro means “Peace Worker.” While his life experiences — in the Peace Corps, 19 years of monkhood, and studying with Ajahn Buddhadasa in Thailand — may be different from ours, underneath that exotica we find the sturdy no-nonsense of the Midwesterner he is. He’s fun, insightful, and a great friend. Santikaro is a respected Buddhist scholar and translator, and was editor of Buddhadasa’s acclaimed book “Heartwood of the Bodhi Tree”. From his continuing studies he brings deep knowledge of the early Buddhist suttas and the human condition to bear on dharma study and practice in Nevada.
Both beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome at this retreat. In addition to guided meditations and instruction, there will be ample opportunities for personal exploration while sitting and walking.
