SUMMARY:Silent Concentration Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The center will be open for meditators who wish to deepen their practice of concentration in four sessions. Silence will be observed within the center during retreat. \nEach session will begin with the preparatory practices of prayers\, up to visualizing receiving blessings from Buddha Shakyamuni and all the Enlightened Beings. \nThe remainder of the session will be in silence with no concluding prayers. Timed chimes will alert participants to each session’s end. \nSCHEDULE \nSaturday:\nSession 1  10:30 am – 11:45 am\nSession 2  1:45 pm – 3:00 pm\nSession 3  3:30 pm – 4:45 pm\nSession 4  5:15 pm – 6:30 pm \nSunday:\nSession 5   1:45-3:00pm\nSession 6   3:30-4:45pm \nGUIDELINES \n\nPlease come prepared with your meditation object. When training in developing concentration we practice meditating on the same object in all sessions. Examples of meditation objects: Equanimity\, Death and Impermanence\, Renunciation\, Compassion\, Taking\, Giving\, Emptiness of the Body\nPlease arrive early so you can start prayers on time. Coming late will disrupt others’ session.\nOnce the session starts\, please be prepared not to leave your cushion or chair. This determination will support your practice as well as prevent disturbing each other’s practice.\n\nCost to attend whole retreat (including Friday introduction) $40\, or $5 per session. \nThank you for supporting Meditation in Santa Barbara!
