Mindfulness with Breathing (?n?p?nasati) is one of Buddhism’s foundation practices. Many meditators have been exposed to it in some form. This retreat will explore its roots in order to better serve as a foundation in our cultivation of the middle way, strengthening our daily practice of mindfulness, inquiry, serenity, and letting go.
What does a well-rounded meditation practice look like?
* it integrates all four establishments of mindfulness;
* it deepens concentration, calm abiding, joy, and freedom;
* it fosters abundant clear seeing and insight into suffering and its end.
The retreat will use the Discourse on Mindfulness with Breathing (Majjhima Nikaya 118) as it’s basis.

About The Teacher
Santikaro is guiding teacher at Liberation Park, which he founded with his wife, Jo Marie, in 2004. He has taught regularly at Cloud Mountain since 2003. His training under Buddhadasa Bhikkhu included meditation and study, a simple life in the woods, and service to society. Santikaro draws upon recent research into the Early Buddhist teachings that underlies all the later traditions now co-existing in the West: Theravada, Mahayana, Zen, Vajrayana, and more, including the American Vipassana movement.
