Refuge in the Sangha \u2013 Refuge in Spiritual Friendship<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Footsteps of The Buddha<\/strong>
\nThe Buddha’s teachings of Liberation and Freedom<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silent Insight Vipassana Meditation Retreat<\/strong><\/p>\n

This silent retreat will offer instructions on mindfulness meditation in the four postures, dhamma talks, inquiry sessions and interviews with the teacher.<\/p>\n

The Buddha taught that Friendship with others on the path is the \u201cWhole of the Holy Life. \u201d Insight Dialogue supports the practice of dharma friendship. In this retreat we will investigate how, practicing the meditation guidelines of Insight Dialogue, can support true refuge in the jewel of sangha and friendship. We will explore how refuge in friendship can lead us forward in our practice for liberation from suffering and the cultivation of wisdom and compassion.<\/p>\n

This November Bhante Anuruddha is offering mini retreats on Friendship: What does it mean, as the Buddha stated, that spiritual friendship is the whole of the holy life?<\/p>\n

How does friendship relate to taking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha? How does this all relate to suffering and the end of suffering?<\/p>\n

In November we will contemplate these teachings, practicing with the Insight Dialogue guidelines of Pause, Relax, Open, Attune to Emergence, Speak the Truth and Listen Deeply.<\/p>\n

The framework of this investigation is the practice of Insight Dialogue, a relational practice developed by Gregory Kramer and the Insight Dialogue Community. We will practice together to explore the teachings based in the Pali Canon, the collection of sutras in the Theravada Buddhist tradition.<\/p>\n

The Dharma is precious and has no price. Therefore, in accordance with tradition, an offering can be made for this activity according to each person’s possibilities and choice.<\/span>
