NEW DATES AND PROGRAMME CONFIRMED.
(English with more details follows below)
Po drugi put u Hrvatskoj – Budistički redovnik Theravada tradicije (najstarija budistička tradicija, koja se smatra najbližom izvornom Budinom učenju) drži predavanja o samom učenju, tradiciji staroj 2600 godina, te podučava meditaciju. Program će se održati u Cavi Brač, a povlačenje će trajati do pet dana.
Prvih dva dana će biti prilagođeni svim razinama vještina: od potpunih početnika do naprednih. Meditatori početnici mogu ostati dan ili dva, ili, ukoliko osjete želju, produžiti i ostatak termina. Napredni meditatori i zainteresirani za budističko učenje imaju na raspolaganju punih pet dana raznovrsnog programa i bilo bi dobro da ih iskoriste u cjelosti.
Retreat je otvoren za sve. Iako bi prethodno poznavanje osnova meditacije, budizma itd bilo poželjno, volja da se savjesno pristupi svim ili većini dana dešavanja je neophodno. Neće biti osiguran prijevod s engleskog. Parking je osiguran svim sudionicima. Ulaz je besplatan, a svaka donacija je dobrodošla. Za sve koji dolaze iz daleka i potreban im je smještaj, isti se može unaprijed dogovoriti u blizini Cave, po prihvatljivim cijenama.
Molimo da svoje sudjelovanje potvrdite na Meetup linku ili putem emaila: cavabrac@gmail.com

--
In our series of retreats, for the second time in Croatia – a Theravada Buddhist monk (the oldest Buddhist tradition, considered closest to the original word of the Buddha) teaches meditation and talks about the training and the tradition that is 2600 years old. The programme takes place in Cava Brač and the two events will be held in English, through five days.
First two days will cater to all skill levels: from complete beginners to advanced. Meditators beginners can stay the first day or two, or, if they feel prepared, extend for the rest of the days. Advanced meditators and those interested in the teaching of the Buddha have all five days of varied programme at their disposal and the best effects come from staying through the entire five-day period.
A typical retreat day consist of:
• initial settling in and welcome
• a brief Puja (chanting)
• guided meditation: sitting, standing, walking
• full-on practice in those postures, morning and afternoon
• Dhamma (Buddha's teaching) reflections on the practice
• Q&A
• a midday vegetarian meal, followed by a break
• informal discussion and exchanges over tea
• a closing chant
A part of the days will be spent in Noble Silence. The retreat is open to general public. While some prior experience or knowledge of meditation, Buddhism etc is encouraged, a willingness to commit to all or most days of the event will be necessary. The retreat will be held in English. Attendence is free of charge, but donations will kindly be accepted. For those coming from afar, accommodation can be arranged for the entire weekend at a reasonable cost in Skrip.

He came to the Amaravati Monastery in the UK in the autumn of 1999, intending to become a Buddhist monk. Ajahn Nyanadassano received the Full Acceptance (Upasampada) as a monk (bhikkhu) on 21 July 2002. During the first 5 years he was also trained in Chithurst Buddhist Monastery in England and Wat Pah Nanachat in Thailand. After completing the initial training, he spent a year in Santacittarama monastery in Italy and two years in Bodhinyanarama in New Zealand, where he started sharing his knowledge of meditation and teachings of the Buddha. Early in 2011 Ajahn Nyanadassano returned to Thailand where he lived in various monasteries of Forest Tradition and spent some time in solitude. Since autumn 2015 he lives mostly in Amaravati, exercising his skills in building and maintenance and occasionally leading meditation retreats.
