DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS, MARK HAS CANCELLED HIS TRIP.
In this retreat we will use the Buddha’s teachings on Mindfulness of the Body as the working ground for our wisdom awareness practice. In the Rohitassa Sutta, the Buddha states that ‘it is in this fathom-long body with its perception and mind that I describe the world, its origin, its cessation, and the practice that leads to its cessation.’ Awareness of body provides the appropriate grounding for our insight practice. It is safe to say, that there is no freedom without freedom with this body.
From the Buddha’s own words on the importance of mindfulness immersed in the body:
“Whoever pervades the great ocean with one’s awareness encompasses whatever rivulets flow down into the ocean. In the same way, whoever develops & pursues mindfulness immersed in the body encompasses whatever skillful qualities are on the side of clear knowing.”
“When one thing is practiced & pursued, the body is calmed, the mind is calmed, thinking & evaluating are stilled, and all qualities on the side of clear knowing go to the culmination of their development. Which one thing? Mindfulness immersed in the body.”
