Let's Meetup for a Silent Retreat!

Go for a deep dive: experiments with wisdom - the four applications of mindfulness continues

Douglas Veenhof will be returning February 28th - March 9th to guide us deeper through the four applications of mindfulness. The Buddha called this "the direct path to liberation", the fusion of Shamatha with Vipashyana. It's a comprehensive methodology to probe four misunderstandings that are the root of all human problems, Vipashyana, on a foundation of meditative quietude, Shamatha.
