SUMMARY:Introduction to Concentration Retreat
DESCRIPTION:In this introduction to the practice of meditation retreat Kadam Keli Vaughan will review \n\nsetting a correct motivation for retreat\nhow to skillfully set retreat boundaries\nexplain the levels of concentration we can accomplish through continual familiarity with one meditation object\n\n  \nDuring the silent retreat that follows on Saturday and Sunday\, the center will host the retreat on Zoom for meditators who wish to deepen their practice of concentration in four sessions. Silence will be observed 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. \nGUIDELINES FOR THIS 2-DAY RETREAT\n \n\nPlease come to your meditation space 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\, the form of Buddha Shakyamuni\nPlease arrive early so you can settle and start prayers on time.\nOnce the session begins\, please be prepared not to leave your cushion or chair. This determination will support your practice.\n\nJoin Zoom Retreat Intro:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88401540998\nMeeting ID: 884 0154 0998 \n  \nWeekend Retreat Schedule: \nSaturday\nSession 1 10:30 am – 11:30 am\nSession 2 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm\nSession 3 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm\nSession 4 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm \nSunday\nSession 5 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm\nSession 6 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm \n  \nFees:  You can donate HERE. \n$5 for each session. \n$10 for Introduction on Friday night. \n$25 for whole retreat. \nFree for monthly members. \n
