SUMMARY:ONLINE SUTTA STUDY RETREAT: Living Without Enemies
DESCRIPTION:Living Without Enemies\nA Weekend ONLINE AT-HOME Sutta Study Retreat\nwith Shaila Catherine \nJune 28 – 30\, 2024 \nThe Buddha said\, “The world may quarrel with me\, but I do not quarrel with the world.” How can we live our lives without hate—without making anyone into an enemy? \nThis program will use both sutta study and meditation practice to explore the Buddha’s teachings on anger. We will examine how untrained minds meet unpleasant experiences with irritation\, blame\, prejudice\, and hatred; and how trained minds abide at ease in the face of difficulties. The Discourses of the Buddha offer us empowering stories\, similies\, instructions\, and teachings that can help us understand and overcome our own aversive tendencies. Through meditative development we learn to meet pain\, disagreement\, and even abuse\, with a balanced\, kind\, and wise attention; we free the mind from the underlying tendency to hate. \nPlease join us as we deepen our practice together through a program of live video conferences with Shaila Catherine. The online meetings will include guided meditations\, Dharma talks\, and question and answer sessions. \nRegistration is required. Scroll down to choose a ticket level. Registration may close a few days prior to the retreat\, so don’t wait to the last minute! \nMore information and a link to join the zoom video conferences will be emailed to registrants a few days prior to the retreat. \nThis retreat is appropriate for all levels of meditators—beginning\, intermediate\, and experienced practitioners. \n\nRETREAT SCHEDULE (Times are given in Pacific Time\, San Francisco) \n\n\nFriday\n4:30 – 6:00 PM– Opening Session – Guided Meditation and Dhamma Talk \n\n\nSaturday\n8:00 – 8:45 AM – Morning Meditation\n11:00 – 1:00 AM – Session One\n3:00 – 5:00 PM – Session Two \n\n\nSunday\n8:00 – 8:45 AM – Morning Meditation\n11:00 – 1:00 AM – Session One\n3:00 – 5:00 PM – Session Two \n\n\nRETREAT SCHEDULE (Times are given in Eastern Time\, Boston) \n\n\nFriday\n7:30 – 9:00 PM – Opening Session – Guided Meditation and Dhamma Talk \n\n\nSaturday\n11:00 – 11:45 AM – Morning Meditation\n2:00 – 4:00 PM – Session One\n6:00 – 8:00 PM – Session Two \n\n\nSunday\n11:00 – 11:45 AM – Morning Meditation\n2:00 – 4:00 PM – Session One\n6:00 – 8:00 PM – Session Two \n\nVisit our Founding Teacher page for biography and photograph of the teacher. \nQuestions?: For more information contact sit \nCo-sponsored by Bodhi-Retreats and Insight Meditation South Bay \n\nRegistration: Registration is required for this course.
