All Day
2015 Midwest Summer Meditation Retreat
With Senior Tergar Instructors Myoshin and Edwin Kelley
Marathon, Wisconsin, USA
Meditation helps us to discover a deep sense of well-being that is not dependent on the circumstances of our lives. When we learn to tame our minds and open our hearts through the practice of meditation, we discover the compassionate wisdom and radiant joy that is our true nature.
This residential retreat will offer a unique opportunity to deepen our practice of meditation teachings from Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. The retreat will be facilitated by senior Tergar instructors Myoshin and Edwin Kelley.
Over six days, we will explore two important forms of meditation – awareness meditation and loving-kindness and compassion meditation – experiencing firsthand how these practices can transform the mind and open the heart. The retreat will take place in a secluded environment and with the support of a community of meditators. The daily schedule will include six-to-eight hours of meditation per day (practiced in 20- to 30-minute sessions), periods of silence along with video teachings by Mingyur Rinpoche, group discussions including a group for Path of Liberation students, and presentations on the key points of meditation by Myoshin and Edwin.
This course is open to both beginner and experienced meditators. It offers the beginner meditator an opportunity to explore in depth the practices taught by Mingyur Rinpoche and for the experienced meditators, the chance to deepen their practice and understanding.
QUALIFICATIONS
This retreat is open to anyone. It will be extremely enriching for anyone interested in meditation, whether you’re a new or experienced practitioner.
In this short DVD teaching, Mingyur Rinpoche discusses the practice of retreat and its importance on the spiritual path: The Importance of Retreat.
