On this retreat, we will engage in Samadhi, Metta and Insight practices as presented by Rob Burbea. These practices will support the harmonisation of the body and heart and our attunement to joy and steadiness, as well as opening experiential understandings of dependent origination and emptiness.
We will complement these explorations with analytical meditations explained in ‘Seeing that Frees’.
Throughout the history of the Buddhist meditative tradition, these practices have served as a central vehicle for internalising the view of emptiness. They support opening a profound understanding of the nature of phenomena, the self, the world and all appearances. Although often unexplored, the analytical approaches can help us open to a powerful and liberating understanding when applied in the crucible of one's meditation practice.
With this combination of approaches, we will move towards a multifaceted view of emptiness beyond the paradigm of letting go. |
