Welcome to this wonderful opportunity to do a 5 days Meditation Retreat and Teachings on Special Insight Meditation in Toronto!
For the 5 days of the program, the schedule is the same : 2 sessions in the morning, 2 sessions in the afternoon, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, including breaks and time for lunch. Each session lasts about 1h15, including teachings, meditation and time for questions.
All of Buddha's teachings are leading us to happiness, and this path call be included into two qualities : calm-abiding (shamatha) and special insight (vipashyana). The calm-abiding is the method which pacifies our mind, bringing it to a single-pointed concentration conjoined with suppleness and bliss. This method serves as a foundation to develop special insight.
In order to develop special insight, we need to study, contemplate and meditate the teachings on emptiness, using a combination of analytical meditation and concentration meditation. This course will include also periods of meditation.
For this course, we will study with the book How to Meditate, available on order or in the Centre :
