Two evening talks with Venerable Robina that will unpack our view of reality and how we come to experience the things we do in our day to day lives. A different perspective than we are used to.
We spend our lives being seduced by the outside world, believing utterly that happiness and suffering come from "out there". The experiential implications of this are blame, anger, guilt, and hopelessness. And not only that, we believe that we're the victims of external circumstances. But the Buddhist view is that we produce ourselves, moment by moment: every thought, word, and action counts. We can be in charge of the process called life! The experiential implications of this approach is empowerment and accountability, and thus fulfillment, optimism and empathy for others.
Cost for the 2 talks including light refreshments is: $60 non members or $50 members/concession

The retreat will focus on the basic principles of training the mind in Shamatha meditation, to create a relaxed, peaceful and contemplative countenance as well as basic teachings on the Four Close Applications of Mindfulness/Vipassana. The evening sessions will focus on the heart practices of the Four Immeasureables, Loving Kindness, Compassion, Joy and Equinimity. The costs will include all meals for day participants and all meals and shared accommodation for residential participants.
The retreat is suitable for anyone who wants to gain greater clarity of mind, increase their mindfulness and insight into the true causes of our stress and tension in the mind and body. Whilst the teachings are derived from the Buddhist philosophy a commitment to Buddhism is not required.
The retreat will be facilitated by Venerable Rinchen who is the resident nun at the centre, she has been facilitating meditation courses and retreats since 2002. Rinchen completed the 2 month silent Shamatha Retreat in Phuket in 2011 with Dr B Alan Wallace and has attended and completed many other retreats and courses over the years.
