Retreats & Workshops
Developing the Mind of Definitive Emergence
On this one day retreat participants will engage in four meditations on the 12 interdependent links to strengthen renunciation for our own sufferings. In turn, this will enable us to develop empathy for every sentient beings' suffering. The 12 interdependent links are part of the Wheel of Life seen in many Buddhist Centers and Temples. Buddha taught these 12 links to impress upon our mind the cyclic and uncontrolled nature of samsara. Each session will include pointing out instructions, prayers, guided meditations and dedications.
We ask participants to come 10-15 minutes early to ensure that participants are not disturbed, as we start promptly at 9 AM.
