Event category: 
Start time: Thursday 00:00
End time: Monday 23:59

 

The Four Noble Truths are the basic axioms of the dharma, Buddhist spiritual practice. But they are not concepts, they are a deep understanding of the journey to liberation. They are a way of life and a way of practice which makes us Noble. Like all practice, it cannot be other than in the present moment, that is, knowing how the Four Noble Truths are operating in each moment of experience.

In this retreat we will explore the nature of our experience from this point of view. That means to see how any experience can be unsatisfactory and difficult for us (First Truth), can be clinging to something (Second Truth), can be a liberating moment (Third Truth) and can be a learning and transforming moment of practice (Fourth Truth). The retreat will include mainly silent meditation practice but also groups, talks and exercises on the theme.

 

The retreat is open for people who sat more then 1 week-long meditation retreat before.
