Training In Happiness - Meditation retreat with Shaila Catherine

 Contrary to common belief, the Buddha's teachings are infused from beginning to end with contentment and joy. This retreat will highlight the essential role that happiness plays in the development of the path of virtue, concentration and wisdom. Profound joy comes through simplicity and clear conduct; the development of mind brings rapture and well being; bliss may saturate the mind during meditation; and unsurpassed peace occurs with awakening.

Combining the study of ancient texts with the direct insight available through intensive meditation, we will explore happiness as the basis, means, and result of Buddhist training. This retreat will be held in silence, with optional sutta study sessions. Experience with previous insight meditation retreats is required.

 The retreat will take place in English.
