“Silently and serenely, forgetting all words, clearly and vividly, it appears before you.”
“Silent” means the stillness of the mind, and “illumination” means the clarity of the mind. During this retreat, Venerable will guide everyone on a journey into the “method of no method” of silent illumination. Through the gradual stilling of the mind, we will experience increasing tranquility and clarity, while awakening the mind’s inherent capacity for awareness, enabling us to see ourselves and the world as they truly are.
The daily schedule includes periods of sitting and walking meditation, dharma talks, and personal interviews with the venerable if needed. Silence is observed throughout the whole retreat.
PREREQUISITE:
Anyone who has taken the Beginner’s Meditation Workshop / Intro to Basic Meditation or has previous experience in Chan/Zen practice is welcome to join.
Fee: Free. Your kind giving to support the event is much appreciated.
* Vegetarian lunch will be served.
